  • looks like they removed the heavy stuff from #3 ruin. how did they manage to do it ?

  • That red thing is the concrete pumper, which is shooting in water.

  • @fitter, aside from the uniform building codes the reactor building would have to meet certain seismic requirements, wind loadings tornado etc. for the SEISMIC ZONE they are in as well as NUREG AND NRC requirements..

  • The souffle theory seems to be most of what is going on. The landside wall is buckling an out of square. The seaside wall is bowing out from the top. Even with the black crane out of the picture there is a slight lean to the land side wall. Even with perspetive and camera angle that left wall should be vertical.

  • I am going to now have nightmares @Nancy great pics #3 looks like part of a horror moviie set

  • @elainekirk thought it looked like a bombed out city from WWII.
    by Nancy 5/10/2011 1:49:07 AM

  • @Edano they have shown video with people closer that i would have thought they could get, may be the robatic workers are removing the rubble or maybe its just all the EQ
    by fitter 5/10/2011 1:49:23 AM

  • @Nancy : but it's only the upper deck of the building. could be the lower part is still vertical...
    by Edano 5/10/2011 1:49:25 AM

  • venting systems that could have potential air activity would go through HEPA typefilters for labs etc and equipment or main air supply and exhaust would all be directed to the scrubbers and treatment HVAC systems then out the stack... there are probably some systems that vent directly outside

  • If you look at the second to last image you can see the roof caving in above the yellow reactor cap. That section of roof was not sagging before.
    by Nancy 5/10/2011 1:50:07 AM

  • @dean its probalby the NUREG , I am working on the containment air flow constraints
    by fitter 5/10/2011 1:50:32 AM

  • @Nancy : wow, ty for the pictures, the first since weeks. tepco will not be amused when they see them.
    by Edano 5/10/2011 1:51:08 AM

  • @Edano Look closer at the lines on the last image. certain parts still keep a vertical line like the corner closest. But the lines of the land side wall I expanded and traced the concrete, it is very uneven and some of the lower parts are rather buckled.
    by Nancy 5/10/2011 1:51:31 AM

  • @dean I see one in the pics, but am amased that it is possible, due to it beibng afaluire point
    by fitter 5/10/2011 1:51:47 AM

  • @ fitter.. most HVAC theory at nuc plants is to draw air from a non-rad area to a rad area then out the stack
    by dean 5/10/2011 1:52:00 AM

  • Thanks to Angie or whomever caught TBS playing around. Really glad whomever at TBS decided to play with the camera. Should have the photos online in a page format for sharing here in a few.
    by Nancy 5/10/2011 1:52:32 AM

    by fitter 5/10/2011 1:54:59 AM

    by Edano 5/10/2011 1:57:35 AM

    by fitter 5/10/2011 1:58:00 AM

    by Edano 5/10/2011 2:00:45 AM

  • @Edano Ok. :-) I will probably wait til the AM. I am running on fumes already right now.
    by Nancy 5/10/2011 2:01:17 AM
