Some of these latest images are from TEPCO bragging about how prepared they were for any eventuality...

@UKVal contract is contract.

Fukushima I Nuke Plant Reactor 1 Bldg: 2,000 Millisieverts/Hr at Southeast Double Door, 3,000 Tons of Water in the Basement

1,000 millisieverts/hour on the 2nd floor was bad enough. And this was supposed to be the reactor that was well on its way to stable cold shutdown.

From Yomiuri Shinbun and Asahi Shinbun, on 5/15/2011 (in Japanese):

2,000 millisieverts, or 2 sieverts, per hour radiation was detected inside the southeast double door of the Reactor 1 reactor building. Measurement was done by a remote-controlled robot on May 13. The location is where the pipe is that goes into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV).

3,000 tons of contaminated water probably leaked from the RPV and the Containment Vessel was found in the basement of the reactor building (where the Suppression Chamber is). TEPCO suspects the water is leaking from the seams of the pipes that connects the Containment Vessel body and the torus-shaped Suppression Chamber.

Now, TEPCO's new plan is to circulate the contaminated water in the basement back into the RPV to cool the RPV.

Well, it was all farce, then; that TEPCO installed the air filtering system and claimed that the radioactive materials inside the Reactor 1 reactor building got safe enough (they were saying a few millisieverts to 10s of millisieverts/hour) for the workers to go in and start working.

Unless the "new normal" for Fukushima I Nuke Plant is to count the radiation in sieverts.

The so-called "water entombment" is officially dead now. TEPCO has poured over 10,000 tons of water inside the RPV. Now they say they've found 3,000 tons of it. Where's the rest, 7,000 tons?

@Veenie Wow! Major containment breach. What is the level that indicates core breach? I remember Dean mentioning it, but I can't remember the #.

Good idea to use a clean oxygen supply. I guess they added this feature to make sure another worker doesn't die of, ahem, 'old age' again.

the baby pool is on the reactor deck. this is certainly NOT daiichi 1-4 ! maybe 5 or 6.

@LM I have no clou...too many contradictions out there right now...BUT obvious, that TEPCO is again in deep doodoo

Partial Data of the WSPEEDI Forecasting Finally Released by the Government
onioni2.blogspot.com
WSPEEDI data of the estimated accumulated amounts of Cs-137 :

Chiba City of Chiba Prefecture : 250 – 2,500 Bq/m2
Tokyo (except for Okutama): 7,700 – 77,000 Bq/m2
A part of Shizuoka Prefecture (including Atami and Ito): 30,000 – 300,000 Bq/m2
Ibaraki (except for Kitaibaraki and Hitachi): 12,500 – 125,000 Bq/m2
Central Fukushima City : 50,000 – 500,000 Bq/m2

@UKVal I would think so but i gotta agree, where is the 7.000 tons ?

@elainekirk : just helping you out .... :)

@LM From what I can determine it uses a total measure of the daily fallout deposits.

@Veenie -true- but we've been expecting v high readings

@UKVal I know, WE DID but TEPCO didn't find THAT much of a difference ?.......i remember they poosted double digits and here we are what 2 weeks later and its 4 digits??

breaking

@Nancy - it just gets worse & worse for the Japanese. Can't help worrying about the radiation in that high wind at present too

FYI, this is 5/6 of the contaminated water they just found.

What everyone here has to remember,.....every bit of steam we see is RADIOACTIVE.......there is no filtration in place...
