  • the containment cap is normally in the reactor well, it is "parked" at the wall when reactor is under mainatanance.
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:18:43 AM

  • Okay, what I'm assuming as the reactor is the yellow lid, is that not it. See it here, and it fits where the containment cap is on the schematic you show 4.bp.blogspot.com

  • @elainekirk Apart from show how felixable it is I am not too sure........
    by Angie 5/11/2011 1:19:37 AM

  • @Ian : no the cap is only there becausre the rpv is opened.
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:19:48 AM

  • Okay, I didn't know. Is reactor 4 empty?

  • @Ian : yes, all fuel in spent fuel pool, no fuel in pressure vessel, containment open.

  • web cam link www.youtube.com
    by Nancy 5/11/2011 1:21:27 AM

  • This is curious though because there is video that shows the yellow lid for Unit 3 in the same NW corner, it's most covered up but I'll look for one video that shows it. Thanks Edano for the education! :)

  • @Ian : www.houseoffoust.com we have a blueprint of #1, it is not the same as #2,3,4, but very similar.

  • @elainekirk lol night night!
    by Angie 5/11/2011 1:23:00 AM

  • @Ian : can you link that video ? we were looking for the cap in #3. either it is desttroyed or still deep in the rubble. if you found it, you are a hero !

  • ty nancy
    by dean 5/11/2011 1:24:17 AM

  • Here's the video, link should jump to the spot, freeze frame at 6:34. It's yellow and seems to be what they hose is aiming at. However, now I'm skeptical that it is the lid. And if it should be centered, I'm even more skeptical : www.youtube.com

  • i haven't seen this one.
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:28:34 AM

  • plenty of steam vapor down there
    by dean 5/11/2011 1:28:51 AM

  • Night Elaine!
    by LM 5/11/2011 1:30:07 AM

  • Edano, it looks like there's something yellow there, but you need to freeze frame at 6:34. Either it's fragmented (in which case I presume its not the lid) or there's dark debris on it that makes it look fragmented. But now I have to be doubtful if it's the lid. It is roughly at the NW corner of #3.
    by Ian 5/11/2011 1:31:43 AM

  • I have never seen that video either.......
    by Angie 5/11/2011 1:33:46 AM

  • @Ian : we should ask nancy to make some stills amnd close ups at about 6:34. if it is yellow, it is likely to be the lid, and it could indeed be destroyed. some theories describe the vertical explosion as coming from the containment through the lid, lifting or destroying it. the lightbulb can act as a cannon, if it is full of pressure.
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:34:19 AM

  • It might be the lid and it's not as near to the corner as it seems. There's one blue print specific to Fukushima that shows a reactor off center. I'll track it down.
    by Ian 5/11/2011 1:35:13 AM

  • @elainekirk good night. @Majham Zazen, thanks so much. If a video plays on a phone in Brazil, maybe it can change things on the other side of the world. Ganbarimasho!
    by bo 5/11/2011 1:38:30 AM

  • @Ian www.houseoffoust.com heat image of #3

    by Edano via Houseoffoust 5/11/2011 1:40:18 AM

  • the round circle is the containment
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:40:43 AM

  • Have you seen these?
    by Lurking 5/11/2011 1:42:13 AM

  • @Lurking ty they are a nice cllection of clear pics
    by fitter 5/11/2011 1:44:33 AM

  • Still of that video, close up in the box www.houseoffoust.com

    by Nancy via Houseoffoust 5/11/2011 1:44:45 AM

  • Some are from www.Cryptome.org they had a new release today
    by Lurking 5/11/2011 1:44:50 AM

  • I'm hoping they may help Nancy in her research. I highly respect all you guys are doing, and pass along what I think might be helpful.
    by Lurking 5/11/2011 1:45:42 AM

  • @Nancy thx nancy ! :) what is the yellow thing ?
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:46:30 AM

  • There's a moment in the video that's even closer to it. It's sure yellow looking!
    by Ian 5/11/2011 1:46:54 AM

  • It's my frisbee. I was wondering where that was.
    by bo 5/11/2011 1:48:37 AM

  • @Lurking Thanks, there are some new ones and I didn't know Cryptome had a new release either. Check this one out. Look at the panels on the garage, all blew out from the inside. That must have been a big explosion and must have been down into the lower levels. farm3.static.flickr.com

    by Nancy via Farm3.static.flickr 5/11/2011 1:49:14 AM

  • @Ian : i cannot identify that object. normally, the lid is far beneath that rubble, one floor lower than the upper deck. if it is really up there in the rubble, it has been blown off.
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:49:54 AM

  • @Nancy : can you identify the yellow object in #3 picturre ?
    by Edano 5/11/2011 1:50:45 AM

  • @Nancy, my thought too. That would be one hell of an explosion!
    by Lurking 5/11/2011 1:50:49 AM

  • #4 definitely crimped down on the top right today vs stills from before.
    by Ian 5/11/2011 1:51:15 AM

  • @Ian I think these images are from April? "Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant conditions (late April 2011)"
    by Nancy 5/11/2011 1:52:35 AM

  • nancy we should pin up the photos from flikr.. very good study
    by dean 5/11/2011 1:54:29 AM

  • @Edano I think it is Bo's frisbee. :-)
    There is another partial yellow object seen from the seaside view under the rubble by the reactor well. Don't know if that is part of containment or not yet. If that one was half, the other yellow thing today could potentially be the other half? There were some other yellow shards around 3. What is not known is if there are other yellow objects the same color within the work areas.
    by Nancy 5/11/2011 1:54:52 AM

  • yeah occams razor votes for bo's frisbee.
