@wtm The weird thing is how the lines seem to go out into the water
by pj 5/12/2011 12:20:54 AM
@pj, had to watch it, hopefully somebody got it saved.
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:21:07 AM
there is usually plan sea in that area maybe a white cap or two. No clue what that is
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:21:43 AM
plan= plain I can't type today
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:22:02 AM
Smoke is visible on the Teppycam...although I miss the live feed!

@pj, nancy, notice that it doesn't go behind the hill in the background, it is in front of it, but there should be nothing there that could account for that .
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:22:48 AM
@wtm are we sure they were watering at that time? We should be able to check the next report that comes out, they usually list when they water the SFPs
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:23:00 AM
@Nancy Yes, those lines are what was weirding me out.
by pj 5/12/2011 12:23:31 AM
Ohio gozaimasu all. I take it there was a massive steam/smoke/fog cloud all night?
by bo 5/12/2011 12:23:44 AM
@wtm I know, it is really odd. pretty level to be smoke or steam unless it is floating on an air layer.
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:23:56 AM
There had to be active watering at the time, as there was a coordinated amount of steam out of #2,3, &4 buildings.
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:23:59 AM
@bo big steam & smoke show like Saturday/Sunday
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:24:13 AM
@Nancy just reading back over morning tea, but was it related to the time of the quake off the coast?
by bo 5/12/2011 12:25:03 AM
@nancy, but that wouldn't give 2 horizontal lines across that much of picture. Smoke would be somewhat jagged lines.
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:25:27 AM
@bo, yes it was !!
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:25:43 AM
@Nancy @pj Is that a ship out at sea too, visible in that close-up - perhaps they're linked?
Has anyone been able to trace any rise in rad levels at any nearby monitors? The safecast ones are realtime, no?
by bo 5/12/2011 12:26:44 AM
@Nancy ty
by bo 5/12/2011 12:26:51 AM
@Nancy @pj Pipes for fresh water pumping perhaps?
by es 5/12/2011 12:27:02 AM
Looking again, looks like it trails off across the entire picture, might be something on the camera lens that is causing it.
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:27:13 AM
@bo yes it seems to be timed around the quake also. Someone checked and there was a quake timed to Saturdays' but I need to go get the report for it and today still.
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:27:30 AM
@Nancy Well that doesn't look good at all. Wish I could stick around, but I'll try to pop in later to backtrack and see what came of this discussion!
by pj 5/12/2011 12:27:59 AM
@Nancy So some type of "burst" at the start of the event?
by bo 5/12/2011 12:27:59 AM
@bo I think safecast is real time? I do know it lists the time of the reading.
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:28:09 AM
@bo possibly. Some who were watching at the time claimed they saw an upburst first and then the thick steam started to crawl right to left across the screen. I went and looked about the time the dark steam really started to fill in across.
by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:28:59 AM
@Nancy I think the other monitors list time, but the specific Safecast ones pull up a realtime web image of the reading of a specific monitor. They are all at a distance from the plants though. In a ring around the area
by bo 5/12/2011 12:29:11 AM
Hmmmm. Nice and overcast and foggy here. Think I'll go out and play
by bo 5/12/2011 12:29:44 AM
@bo, what was odd is that after the event settled down there was thick smoke that was pouring out of #3, not from the top, but from the bottom center of the building. That smoke then filled all the low areas around the plant. When the Teppy cam finally got it's first shot of the day, it showed a vertical plume of smoke at the #3 building position.
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:32:14 AM
Got to run for a bit,be back, hopefully TBS cam will come clear before then ?
by wtm 5/12/2011 12:33:31 AM
@wtm thanks. Doesn't sound good, one way or another. Wouldn't any personnel on site, if for example they were applying water to cool #3 down, be exposed to very significant levels? @wtm see you later

Murphys have never left Fukushima I Nuke Plant, and they are coming out from their hiding places. translate.google.com
by Majjham Zazen 5/12/2011 12:34:51 AM
2-4 were chugging smoke before the quake and after things cleared off they were still putting out steady steam. Need to look when the next report comes out to see if watering times coordinate.

Here de orijinal video is working : mbs.jp/news www.mbs.jp

@Majjham Zazen So does anyone understand Google Japanese better than I? Was that saying that the RPV was extremely low or the RPV and containment both were low on water?
