@Edano do they ever specify where off the coast? Curious if these were all near Fuku. If they were that was quite the hammering.by Nancy 5/7/2011 9:49:03 PM- @Nancy all in the region between tokyo and rokkashu. details quakes.globalincidentmap.comby Edano 5/7/2011 9:50:47 PM
Good thing is..I don't think they will ever build another reactor in an earthquake prone zone again.by Jim 5/7/2011 9:50:57 PM- bblby Jim 5/7/2011 9:51:23 PM

Any new METI stats in yet ??by wtm 5/7/2011 9:56:15 PM
@fitter Liquefaction = conversion of soil into a fluidlike mass during an earthquake or other seismic event . Happened alot around tokyo during earthquake, things sink and tumble. www.asiaone.comby RBeaner 5/7/2011 9:58:13 PM- @fitter, some speculation early this morning about why they had the plant lit up last night was that they may have been putting in piping and the heat exchangers they were talking about ??by wtm 5/7/2011 10:01:33 PM
- @fitter, any thoughts ?by wtm 5/7/2011 10:02:18 PM
- @wtm I have not understood why it has taken them so long to get lights at night.... but they seemed to have more light on 3 & 4 than on one... one i were they are suppost to be working.... it maybe for the "water dump" they did last night....by fitter 5/7/2011 10:04:35 PM
- they may have been working on the supports for SFP at four they seemed to have moved the pumper.... night work not going on there has puzzled meby fitter 5/7/2011 10:07:31 PM
- @fitter, evidently they had them on, then turned them off for a while, and then turned them on again. Weird !!!!by wtm 5/7/2011 10:08:06 PM
- not if you don't want the cam to see... but they are probably on generator and had to refuel or somethingby fitter 5/7/2011 10:08:57 PM
- Derbys gettting ready to go !!!by fitter 5/7/2011 10:09:36 PM
- @fitter, noticed the pumper, but couldn't see anything else around #4. You could see steam when they were injecting the water into the SFP. Don't know if anyone would want to be working around it while they were doing that ?by wtm 5/7/2011 10:09:54 PM
- They really had #3 going full kettle last night, heavy steam and black smoke !!!by wtm 5/7/2011 10:10:56 PM
- i hear you there... that was one good show... i thought they were losing #3 would have bet money on it..... and if I was there working, I'd have been out the gateby fitter 5/7/2011 10:11:29 PM
- @fitter, haven't seen any reactor stats since the 6th, was hoping to see what it looked like today after their work last night ?by wtm 5/7/2011 10:12:36 PM
- @wtm Steam does not make black smoke.... (that I know of) I think something happened while they were doing the feed and bleed... uless the steam kicked up a lot of dust (concrete) but that looked badby fitter 5/7/2011 10:12:58 PM
- @wtm it should be interesting!!!!! that was not "Just" steamby fitter 5/7/2011 10:13:32 PM
- Its hot steamby fitter 5/7/2011 10:13:46 PM
- @fitter, hard telling what it was ? They may have had to stop dumping because something else happened ?by wtm 5/7/2011 10:13:59 PM
- @wtm or they had something happen because of the dumping.... do you know how they are feeding unit3by fitter 5/7/2011 10:15:07 PM

I just got notified of a 4.3 close to fukushimaby Veenie 5/7/2011 10:16:29 PM- @fitter enjoy )by Veenie 5/7/2011 10:17:22 PM
- how can your handle those quakes while working next to a boom boom macine.. they must put valuim in the water!!!! gotta riun theres the hornby fitter 5/7/2011 10:17:43 PM

- @Veenie : there isn't any confirmation for this one. but i remember there was an eq near fuku some (or one) days ago in Fukushima-ken Hamadori. maybe it's mixed up.by Edano 5/7/2011 10:29:09 PM

Ohio gozaimasu. Happy high density release day. Did anyone ever figure out what all the steam/smoke was in the middle of the night last night?by bo 5/7/2011 10:39:15 PM- @bo, not yet. No reports on the smoke show. I did get confirmation that 4 is leaning.by Nancy 5/7/2011 10:40:49 PM
- @bo, NO !!!by wtm 5/7/2011 10:40:50 PM

- @Nancy, haven't seen any stats for this morning from there, last was May 7th at 5:00, and it shows #3 as being 180 C in the RPVby wtm 5/7/2011 10:41:50 PM
