nite dean!

I'm off to bed too -night all

Nite UKVal!

Night Elaine!

Elaine good night! UKVal good night!

I'm seeing dark smoke coming out of 1 and traveling horizontally toward 5 and 6....Please tell me I'm not seeing things!

@LM I can't tell if it is smoke or ocean waves. Even on full screen not sure.

Could just be breakers in the surf -- the ocean's pretty visible today.

If it was smoke, wouldn't we see it to the left of the vent tower?

Your seeing things !!! But something of interest in the background, notice the small wisps of clouds that appear and then disappear as they travel to the left.

I very well could be blind!!

@Rob in SF LOL!

Off to work folks, back on in a bit.

Spent my day working on getting the earthquakes lists online so you all can see them. These are the quakes listed by global incident, by day and area. Not done catching up to date, but close enough for my "globally aware friends" www.tsunamioftears.com

Thanks Debra.

Since our trusted government cannot be trusted, I have also started taking shots of the map at radnet, so we have a history starting the 7th of this month. Trying to get a morning & evening shot www.tsunamioftears.com

@wtm sea goes all the way past the top of the camera view. Marie and I were really tweaking on these "strange things in the sky" one of the early days of the cam going online :-)

OK

Oh this is heartbreaking....
Forced to live in their owners' cars, pets of people at evacuation centers are suffering from stress, health problems. bit.ly

@Nancy, Debra, makes sense !!

Long one, apologies ... Obrigado, @Majj!

Babelfish's take:
The meltdown 3-11... Initial delay backing

Announced findings rather than what occurred recently in Tokyo electric power occurred in Fukushima first nuclear power plant No.1 unit 3, the "meltdown (meltdown)" began on the night of March 11, about four hours after the tsunami-stricken but this nuclear power plant.

Tokyo electric power company began pouring water to more than 10 hours after the meltdown beginning 12 next day morning, delay in emergency accidents for Tokyo electric power company is backed by data from.

Tokyo electric power company didn't work, since the March 11 at 3: 30 pm data recorded earthquake in the central control room, the tsunami struck the reactor cooling, and estimated the reactor core temperature and water level. As a result, reactor core temperature was initially about 300 degrees, 11, at 6: 00 pm from passing soar and began. Reactor power accordingly, from the top of the fuel was approximately 5 metres above water level also tsunami from around 11, at 7: 30 pm after about 4 hours to about 10 meters and exposed all fuel from the surface of the water. Meltdown started as around 7: 50 in the fuel, and fall at the bottom of the vessel.

2800 Degrees 11, at 9 p.m., the reactor core temperature starts to melt itself fuel (pellets) is reached, Flooder is initiated 12, 6 a.m. is for some reason vessel opens a hole, water levels fell sharply. Now from the tsunami RAID 15 hours 20 minutes later, at 6: 50 am, most of the nuclear fuel in the reactor pressure vessel bottom which collapsed.

Google Translate's take:
Meltdown will delay the March 11 initial support ...
TEPCO 15 days, occurred in the No. 1 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, "Meltdown (meltdown)" is not something that occurred last evening of November 3 was attacked by about four hours after the tsunami primary published the results of that analysis began.

TEPCO has started the injection, at 12 the next morning after 10 hours since the meltdown began, backed by the delay from the initial data for the accident of TEPCO.

TEPCO, and based on data recorded immediately after the earthquake in the central control room, assuming the reactor cooling did not work from around 3:30 pm on March 11 raid by the tsunami, reactor core estimated the temperature and water level. As a result, core temperature was initially about 300 degrees, began to jump from 11th after 6:00 pm. Accordingly, even on the level of the reactor was about five meters from the top of the fuel dropped to about 10 meters around 7:30 pm after about four hours from 11 tsunami, all the fuel is exposed from the water. The seven-time around 50 minutes, began to fall to the bottom of the pressure vessel, fuel meltdown began.

11 Sun 9:00 pm Sometimes, the core temperature of the fuel (pellets) begins to melt itself reaches 2800 degrees, just after 6:00 am July 12 Injection is a cylinder with a hole for some reason, the water level dropped. 12 to 50 minutes at 6:00 am about 15 hours and 20 minutes after the killer tsunami, the state had collapsed into the reactor pressure vessel bottom majority of nuclear fuel.

The original Nihongo from Yomiuri:
メルトダウンは３月１１日…初動の遅れ裏付け
東京電力は１５日、福島第一原子力発電所１号機で起きた「メルトダウン（炉心溶融）」は最近起きたものではなく、同原発が津波に襲われた約４時間後の３月１１日夜に始まったとする分析結果を公表した。

　東電が注水を開始したのは、炉心溶融が始まってから１０時間以上後の翌１２日朝で、事故に対する東電の初動が遅れたことがデータからも裏付けられた。

　東電は、中央制御室で地震直後から記録されたデータなどを基に、津波が襲来した３月１１日午後３時３０分頃から原子炉の冷却機能が働かなかったと仮定し、原子炉の炉心温度や水位を推定した。その結果、当初約３００度だった炉心温度は、１１日午後６時過ぎから急上昇し始めた。それに伴って、燃料最上部から約５メートル上にあった原子炉の水位も、津波から約４時間後の１１日午後７時３０分頃に約１０メートル低下し、全燃料が水面から露出。同７時５０分頃には、燃料が圧力容器の底に落下し始め、炉心溶融が始まった。

　１１日午後９時には、炉心温度が燃料（ペレット）自体が溶け始める２８００度に達し、注水開始直後の１２日午前６時には何らかの理由で圧力容器に穴が開き、水位が急落した。津波襲来から約１５時間２０分後の１２日午前６時５０分には、核燃料の大半が原子炉圧力容器底部に崩落した状態になった。

Hey you all... wow the Fukushimafaq wiki space rocks... Great job, to all. Cheers.
