  • Problem of how to isolate the plant from the ocean www.tepco.co.jp

    by elainekirk 5/21/2011 9:18:08 AM

  • Tepco announce decommissioning of 1-4 and scrap plans for 7-8 but daiichi 5 & 6 and daini 1-4 are listed as cold shutdown surely they are not planning to restart them at some stage ? www.tepco.co.jp

  • Detailed photo of Unit 3 I hadn't seen before. blog-imgs-29.fc2.com

    by Ian via Blog-imgs-29.fc2 5/21/2011 9:37:41 AM

  • Actually, that might have been in a recent Tepco release that emphasized Unit 4.
    by Ian 5/21/2011 9:41:38 AM

  • All the dust-inhibition spraying I've seen has been around Unit 3, suggesting that its blast uniquely emitted fuel.

  • @Ian yes I just watched video and thought the same
    by elainekirk 5/21/2011 9:47:52 AM

  • Hi @elaine. Wonderful Tepco announcing that they will decommission #1-4 as if they haven't decommissioned themselves already! They will wait for the govt to instruct them to close 5&6, then they can claim compensation. Daini likewise.

  • **** Something strange is happening on TBS cam - suddenly went to whiteout and then pink **** www.youtube.com
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:08:24 AM

  • Anybody watching?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:13:40 AM

  • Yeah, it's like ... purple haze all in my mind
    by Ian 5/21/2011 10:15:02 AM

  • And smoke from #3?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:15:30 AM

  • It looked like a sudden extremely bright flash from the left (north) side of #3, which caused a camera whiteout for several seconds, after which the picture was pink and v.bright. Now steadily becoming much darker.
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:17:59 AM

  • Can anyone tell if #3 looks any different?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:19:21 AM

  • @hudebnik, It's the same as before.
    by DT 5/21/2011 10:23:13 AM

  • Maybe they have turned ne night vision on, beacuse that pink/purple haze is slowly going away.
    by DT 5/21/2011 10:23:23 AM

  • Thanks. Well I wonder what that was?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:23:32 AM

  • @hudebnik From what I can see I think #3's unchanged. Sunset and the lights came on?
    by es 5/21/2011 10:23:33 AM

  • No it was a very bright flash, very sudden and then the whole pic went very over bright pink
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:24:12 AM

  • and stayed like it for several minutes
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:24:23 AM

  • @hudebnik- I saw it.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 10:25:11 AM

  • Phew! I didn't imagine it. What do you think Maureen?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:25:45 AM

  • @hudebnik - IDK- Just saw a major vibration too... All I can say is I saw it- I have no clue as to what it was.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 10:28:50 AM

  • It definitely looked more like a flash than a camera fault, as it wasn't even across the screen..The centre seemed to be to the left of the tower by #3, a little above reactor roof height.
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:30:39 AM

  • Has anyone got a still of this TBS shot from say yesterday?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:32:08 AM

  • @hudebnik - I meant I saw the vibration/heard something as I was typing my response to you.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 10:32:47 AM

  • I watch it go dark all the time. It is never pink like that.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 10:35:44 AM

  • Me neither. Unfortunately I didn't manage to grab any frames but if there was an event I'm sure TBS will have been recording the feed.
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 10:44:13 AM

  • Since my last post I have seen two quick flashes of light- One near the top left of the tower in front of #3 and one in the foreground(in the trees). The vibration I saw was just reported as a 4.6 EQ.

  • ...and another 4.6 20 minutes later.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 11:12:51 AM

  • @Maureen what do you make of the cam image at the moment?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 11:28:23 AM

  • @hudebnik I think #3 or #4 is smoking. I can't figure out which one. If I look at my screen from a certain angle it appears to come from the top left of #4. When I look straight on it's not so clear to me.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 11:31:20 AM

  • It looks to me like something is coming from #3 - any other opinions around @all?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 11:35:17 AM

  • I agree.
    by Maureen Burke 5/21/2011 11:38:10 AM

  • to me it looks like a big low cloud of smoke light is not reflecting from the side of #2 nearrest #3 so smoke blocking light ? and I think it is blowing into #4 and drifting out the top
    after being warmed by the sfp in there
    by elainekirk 5/21/2011 11:38:27 AM

  • Hi @elaine
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 11:39:24 AM

  • We had a very strange event on the cam 90 minutes ago.
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 11:39:52 AM

  • @hudebnik I missed it was only when I saw you and @Maureen chatting about it that I started watching
    by elainekirk 5/21/2011 11:42:35 AM

  • Unfortunately I didn't manage to grab it - do you know if anyone is recording the TBS cam feed?
    by hudebnik 5/21/2011 11:44:08 AM

  • 'hudebnik the light reflecting off #2 is definately being blocked by smoke would you say. I started watching news feed but nothing yet Debs may be recording we can hope
