@Veenie the FPS will vary in the ambient light when it's that low.... auto-shutter speed. It's faster when there's steam. More light. Or so it seems? Cameramen?

well they said we have a SHOW on the 8th and they did not dissapoint!

@Christine I don't have the link either, it was a reference about an email by a Mr.Tono (politician). Very rough translation talking about a big release of radiation. But we don't really know what it was about. Could be them opening the doors to unit 1 containment, or something else, or just a really bad tranlation.

However, it was more clear, imo, that there might have been "mistakes" in the dumping of the (less radioactive?) water to the sea.

Mr. Tono had it on his blog

"It is an attachment from the readers through three young officials of the Office of Energy. TEPCO meeting minutes total integration of government headquarters on May 1 of this. [The release of high concentrations of 8 days and this will remain to be done.] [the aide Hosono, this case is very important on the go to the next step and installation of heat exchangers, and (the future in terms that can be discharged out of the radioactive material), contaminated water Avoid repeated failures during the discharge, the participants closely to share information we want working with high sensitivity, which was said.] "

"エネ庁の若手官僚から添付ファイルが３通ついたメールが来た。

darn!

Just getting up, stayed up late, just a minute.

hello jim did you see the video

@fitter no, just got up, what's up?

guess they were adding water, but it looked like they were losing #3, there are some still on the blog about an hour ago.... we got our show on the 8th as promised

gonna go dig up that stuff

They might be working on the vent pipes on the ground, you can't see the lower half of the plant from here. hard to tell. But definitely something that they need to see all over the place.

The lieral translation: "It is an attachment from the readers through three young officials of the Office of Energy. TEPCO meeting minutes total integration of government headquarters on May 1 of this. [The release of high concentrations of 8 days and this will remain to be done.] [the aide Hosono, this case is very important on the go to the next step and installation of heat exchangers, and (the future in terms that can be discharged out of the radioactive material), contaminated water Avoid repeated failures during the discharge, the participants closely to share information we want working with high sensitivity, which was said.] "

The three went through the mail came from the bureaucracy of young attachment energy agency.

Integrating the entire TEPCO Group meeting minutes of May 1 the government one of them.
[Release is made with a high concentration of 8 days will be like this. ]
[From assistant Hosono, this case is very important on the go to the next step, such as installation of heat exchangers, and (the future in terms that can be discharged out of the radioactive material) during discharge of contaminated water avoid repeating mistakes, officials close to the sharing of information we want working with high sensitivity, which was said. ]

I killed the idea, defended the fare hike plan in just TEPCO, is watching the Democratic identity.

Below, some quotes.
[To use the community's concern for the summer blackout of TEPCO, "dissolve into chaos and disrupting the Tokyo Electric Power," and threatening the government, but many have received truly facing it, collapsed-stop operation The apparent that there is, to secure funding for the operation and its important that it be clarified as soon as possible to guarantee the government. (Which can be processed if it took time)
Also wrong, first because of excessive debt nationalization, the government has a choice of investment. It could become a risk to the public to pass on at once.
TEPCO is essentially different from JAL operating companies and the general public, can not escape completely impatient customers in the local monopoly, there is a feature that enters a stable fee income. (It says it can talk with a straight face electricity price hikes. In other words, Kuni Tsuyoshi need to stick that needs to be done early treatment to prevent damage to the business value that is highlighted when the play is not.)

Has been used for the corporate bond market collapse that threatened to cause scratches on the bond or financial instability and TEPCO will collapse, will suffice to accommodate the market of several trillion yen of bad loans, lending capacity to temporarily should say here that injection of public funds to leverage financial stabilization scheme if there is no such thing as a bank. (The bank should no longer be silent but it absolutely disgusting.)

Shareholders came into the trading prices of today, there were a lot who are buying in the calculation of easy money if you can help the country. The market is beginning to factored the possibility of failure already quite a lot in the shareholder from the old 100 the future can be thought that the decision of holding Satoshi Satoshi bankruptcy or to stop loss% a major problem as a capital reduction is not . JAL actually had a debate at exactly the same, 100% capital reduction was implemented. We will continue to market should be factored in the risk of gradual failure.

Long time lurker here. I enjoy the open discourse. I haven't really had anything to contribute until now. My partner who is Japanese brought this blog post to my attention. It is from Taro Kono, who is in the house of representatives (LDP, opposition to current government):

www.taro.org

In particular this section:

"エネ庁の若手官僚から添付ファイルが３通ついたメールが来た。

その一
５月１日の政府・東電統合本部全体会合の議事録。
『このままいくと８日にも高濃度の放出が行われる。』
『細野補佐官から，本件は熱交換機の設置といった次のステップに進む上で非常に重要である，また，（今後， 放射性物質が外に排出され得るという点で，）汚染水排出の際の失敗を繰り返さないよう，関係者は情報共有を 密に行い，高い感度を持って取り組んで欲しい，とする発言があった。』"

Translation (non-literal and our understanding):

I received 3 emails with attachments from junior government officials in the energy department.

The first email:
Minutes of meeting between TEPCO and the government on the 1st May.
"If the current situation continues, high density radiation will be released on the 8th May."
"Mr Hosono said: It is very important to go to the next step regarding the installation of the heat exchanger machine. For the concerned parties, be careful of the sharing of information with high sensitivity so that the same mistakes aren't made again like the release of the radiated water previously.

The second and third emails aren't related so we didn't translate it. It isn't clear from the text the way the radiation will be released. ie airborne or via water.

The aforementioned energy department English homepage is this:

Perhaps those who are following the work and/or parameters of the reactors could hypothesise what they are thinking about doing.

Looks like they may need the light to install those heat exchanger units someplace ?

@Edano Hi. No real news. We're watching the tippycam mess. Great capture, btw.

Any thing on mainstream news?
