it does not surprise me. we always expected breaches and corium.by Edano 5/12/2011 12:48:01 AM
@Edano I was hoping they knew something we didn't since they were going in.by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:49:23 AM- Those Sat-Sun quakes were one right after another.by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:49:55 AM
- #Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Reactor 1's RPV Has Hardly Any Water
Murphys have never left Fukushima I Nuke Plant, and they are coming out from their hiding places.
After the workers braved the very high radiation inside the Reactor 1 reactor building and repaired the pressure gauge and the water gauge inside the Containment Vessel and the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV), TEPCO is finding out that the number they've been reporting on the level of water inside the RPV that houses the nuclear fuel rods was very, very wrong, and there's hardly any water inside the RPV.
It also turns out that there is little water in the Containment Vessel that houses the RPV.
There goes the "water entombment" scheme. All the water that has been poured into the reactor has gone somewhere. Both the RPV and the Containment Vessel of the Reactor 1 have been breached.

@Nancy Your most welcome! This is the quake from today's smokefest. earthquake.usgs.govby LM 5/12/2011 12:51:06 AM
@Elaine Hey can you please check FB. thanks!!by Angie 5/12/2011 12:52:00 AM- The middle quake from Sunday was a little further north, but they were all close together!by LM 5/12/2011 12:52:24 AM
- @LM Thanks! Right at the time everything went crazy.by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:52:40 AM
by Debra Beckham via I1097.photobucket 5/12/2011 12:53:16 AM- I have to wonder if the shaking is maybe breaking corium or something hot loose into standing water? What else would make a big woosh of steam? Something gapping open?by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:53:26 AM
- @Debra Beckham Thanks. Will see if I can tweak anything out of it. Do you have a way to check what time that frame was shot at? I was going to ask if you had a page for all your video captures?by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:54:39 AM
- @Nancy It does seem like it's more than a coincidence. They have been seriously underplaying the effects of aftershocks!by LM 5/12/2011 12:54:41 AM
- @LM Once is coincidence, twice means something. I find it odd that both quakes were about the same time of day tooby Nancy 5/12/2011 12:57:09 AM
- @Nancy I uploaded that video to you tube immediately, but there is a point when I went off big screen, (not sure I was recording so had to check) it would show the PST time on my screen, I will go back and look. This is my youtube channel www.youtube.comby Debra Beckham 5/12/2011 12:58:15 AM
- How odd that spot is up above and a little left of the work floor level on 3 like it is in air.by Nancy 5/12/2011 12:59:30 AM

if we assume #1& #2 have a similar set up then all this water if the hot stuff has reached it will be available for steam production so yeah the mass of steam has got a feed if so

The video of the fire/smoke was started at 7:57 am PST.by Debra Beckham 5/12/2011 1:03:13 AM - @elainekirk You have a FB message waiting for you........ok I go lookyby Angie edited by elainekirk 5/12/2011 1:03:49 AM
- @Debra Beckham Hmm. People alerted me around 1pm CST or about 3am JSTby Nancy 5/12/2011 1:04:48 AM
- I think the spot was something. There is nothing behind that spot to reflect light. So either some sort of fire or steam ball that reflected light (if it was steam).by Nancy 5/12/2011 1:06:38 AM
- @Nancy Watch the second video, look at the bottom menu of my laptop in the first second, when I started the video programby Debra Beckham 5/12/2011 1:07:02 AM

@Debra Beckham thanks for that videoby bo 5/12/2011 1:12:56 AM- @Debra Beckham Ah. Have my brain wrapped around it now. Were talking the same time frames. :-)by Nancy 5/12/2011 1:13:28 AM
There was a poster on a forum that stated Fuku disappeared, then livecam went to fog. I thought he was just trying to stir things up, but people went hunting for local cams all over fuku and found this-by anon 5/12/2011 1:13:52 AM- @anon the Teppy cam has a still image for today. For what it is worth.. :-)http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu/f1-np/camera/index-j.htmlby Nancy 5/12/2011 1:15:21 AM
- do you think this WAS the plant? They claim it is where the plant was:by anon 5/12/2011 1:15:23 AM
- by anon 5/12/2011 1:15:34 AM
- @anon Saw fog and parts of the plant well after that.by Nancy 5/12/2011 1:15:48 AM
- looks like something else to me altogetherby anon 5/12/2011 1:15:59 AM
- @Nancy Have to admit that it was a pretty horrifying thing to watch this morning. For a second or two, I thought for sure it was game up!by Debra Beckham 5/12/2011 1:16:18 AM
- ok thanksby anon 5/12/2011 1:16:18 AM
- @Debra Beckham I stuck around the office to see what was going to happen. It looked a bit worse than Saturday. The dark steam/smoke that ate up the view so fast was worrysome.by Nancy 5/12/2011 1:17:19 AM
- @anon That webcam wasn't anywhere of the plant.by Nancy 5/12/2011 1:18:22 AM
by Debra Beckham via I1097.photobucket 5/12/2011 1:19:33 AM- @Nancy This was much worse than Saturdayby Debra Beckham 5/12/2011 1:20:29 AM
- @Nancy yes, good to know-current webcam of plant is interesting thoughby anon 5/12/2011 1:20:59 AM

@anon that looks like the thermal power plant. It's popped up before on searches.by Shadow 5/12/2011 1:21:28 AM- @anon I did some digging and that's a shot from the Yanaizu-Nishiyama Geothermal Plant.by LM 5/12/2011 1:21:40 AM
