Only $28 for the 3DS files. You could do some cool animations with them. There might be a free 3DXF os such model out there somewhere, IMNSHO.

@Rob in SF hmm the hubby knows a bit about 3D files...
by Nancy 5/19/2011 12:01:30 AM

@Rob in SF : some of us wanted to make presentations. this could be of good use.

$299 for the whole enchilada.

Holy Cow. Our Ian (Goddard) is quite the fine artist. His philosophy is intense as well. A true renaissance man.

Hi Veenie

@elainekirk Interesting to say the least.....any theories ? ))
Just picked it up from my friend in Iceland but I like the logic

The 3D models sure make it easy for our forthcoming, "FUKUSHIMA - THE MOVIE"...
by Rob in SF 5/19/2011 12:12:10 AM

Is there a daily rundown yet ?
by Veenie 5/19/2011 12:12:56 AM

@Veenie a what???
by UKVal 5/19/2011 12:15:28 AM

@UKVal Cliffnotes on what happened today in NEWS?
by Veenie 5/19/2011 12:16:12 AM

@veenie there is @marks I haven't seen @jo post for a few days
by elainekirk 5/19/2011 12:16:26 AM

Wow that article from MIT is interesting. I wonder if there was anything visible out of that?
by Nancy 5/19/2011 12:16:27 AM

@Veenie sorry only just arrived...

Nice to see shocking headlines like these in US papers after the downplay in the press.

@elainekirk Wow. I bet the US Gov has been watching this kind of stuff with satellites for a long time, and not telling anyone...
by Rob in SF 5/19/2011 12:17:35 AM

Hmm. TEPCO thinks they are going to get into the basement levels of the plants to install a sump system to recirculate water.
6 has 6 feet of water in the turbine building and could lose cooling if the water floods over to containment.
by Nancy 5/19/2011 12:18:01 AM

I do remember I posted early this am, that they cyphened 100 Tons of R Water and level is down to 144 cenbtimeters "1 bloody centimeter 100 tons"
by Veenie 5/19/2011 12:19:43 AM

it's funny, i never understand any word in vennies's posts. is it just me ?

@Nancy @elainekirk More on the atmospheric changes pre-EQ...

@rob I like your ability to think outside the box - I hadnt got further than thinking 'oh thats good info'
by elainekirk 5/19/2011 12:22:01 AM

The first comment to that MIT article is enlightening:
Anyone interested in learning about this issue and related ones of ionospheric earthquake precursors should read "Ionospheric Precursors of Earthquakes" by Sergey Pulinets, Kirill Boyarchuk (Springer, 2004).

In short, there is an often observed effect on the F layers of the ionosphere where the critical frequency, the highest frequency radio wave that will reflect rather than penetrate the ionosphere, changes. The critical frequency, known in plasma physics as the plasma frequency, depends on the extent of ionization which is caused by some effect (which one is disputed) where tectonic stresses induce EM heating which both ionize and heat the ionosphere.

The biggest problem is all measurements are after the fact. No one has successfully predicted an earthquake by distinguishing any of this from normal activity beforehand.
by Rob in SF 5/19/2011 12:22:27 AM

@Edano Just you :)
by Reed 5/19/2011 12:22:39 AM

@Reed : okay.
by Edano 5/19/2011 12:22:52 AM

This from Reed's article from the Wash Times "Tepco this week began releasing some 2,000 pages of documents that describe versions of events immediately after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami." Is that the same as a fabrication or a story? :-)
by Nancy 5/19/2011 12:23:24 AM

maybe we can vote for which version seems best.
by Scilla 5/19/2011 12:25:00 AM

I get a sneaking feeling TEPCO doesn't know what they are doing and are just going through some motions to look busy.
by Nancy 5/19/2011 12:25:38 AM

@Nancy : a good thing would be to find out a way to detect the position of the coriums.

Minor point about the earlier report on high temps, 5&6 overheating. Current sfp temps are low 40s and 30s, hardly a catastrophe in the making.

by Bobby1 5/19/2011 12:32:57 AM

@Edano Is there any sort of penetrative imaging that could detect heat?
by Nancy 5/19/2011 12:34:36 AM

@Nancy Seems they just need to get a big feed pipe in there to feed the sump pump. Should be doable. Perhaps even bots could do it.
by Rob in SF 5/19/2011 12:34:38 AM

@Rob in SF I think those areas may be under water at 2-3. If they need to continue watering the reactors they may be unable to pump water out to get down there. It is the lowest point of the building. Also not sure if the packbots can do that kind of work.

New cooling systems to be installed at fuel pools
The operator of the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant is likely to start operating a new system within 2 weeks to cool spent fuel in reactor Number 2.

Tokyo Electric Power Company says it is preparing to install cooling systems in 4 of the 6 reactor buildings, 3 months earlier than initially planned.

TEPCO says it is laying power cables for a cooling system for Number 2 reactor's spent fuel pool. A heat exchanger will be brought into the facility early next week to start operating the cooling system by the end of this month.

Workers entered the Number 2 reactor building on Wednesday for the first time since a hydrogen explosion on March 15th. They tried to check radiation levels but left the building after 14 minutes because it was filled with steam, making further work impossible.

The utility says the vapor appears to be coming from the damaged suppression chamber as well as from the fuel pool itself.

Senior TEPCO official Junichi Matsumoto says he believes cooling the spent fuel pool will help reduce steam inside the reactor.

TEPCO reports more than 90 percent humidity inside the Number 2 reactor building. Matsumoto says the building's roof is intact, making it more prone to filling with steam. Number 1 and 3 reactor buildings are exposed to the air because hydrogen explosions blew off their roofs and walls.
