@hudebnik tyby UKVal 5/21/2011 2:49:55 PM- @hudebnik - could you see anything of the plant at all ( askinjg cos of my experience at dawn)by UKVal 5/21/2011 2:51:00 PM
@hudebnik hoping maybe someone else or somewhere else might have a video capture of that time frame. If we can find one it might be worth asking bionerd29 for her opinion.by Nancy 5/21/2011 2:52:07 PM
Yes plant was fainly visible, and it certainly wasn't a natural light effect, it looked like a huge blinding white flash, centred between #3 & #2, to left of tower and about roof height.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 2:53:47 PM- Must dash out - back later.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 2:53:57 PM
- In which case I saw something similar, but missed the flash. I posted earlier about aura that I took to be sun on water, but now doubt...by UKVal 5/21/2011 2:54:16 PM
In the Radiation Zone: The Children of Minamisoma City, Part 3 of 4 www.youtube.comby Majj 5/21/2011 2:58:53 PM- At the time i took it for cam overexposure due to strong while light, but if I had the screen at a tilt there was a semicircular aura around 3 that looked like those pics of sun with small flares. I took it for sun on the water, but as it didn't rwally the top of the pic that now seems less likelyby UKVal 5/21/2011 2:59:01 PM
- rwally =reached - my bad typing!by UKVal 5/21/2011 3:00:17 PM
The program I use to record is a free trail download, and you can still record after the free days end, you just don't have the fancy features. www.nchsoftware.comby deb 5/21/2011 3:00:52 PM

I snapped this teppycam pink screenshot earlier, just after Hudebnik mentioned the flash.by es via I55.tinypic 5/21/2011 3:02:56 PM- @es that's like it was at dawn -then went very whiteby UKVal 5/21/2011 3:04:15 PM
Later ALL, take care.by Shadow 5/21/2011 3:07:10 PM- later Shadow!
ES, do you know what time JST that happened at?by Nancy 5/21/2011 3:09:44 PM - @Nancy @UKVal 1106 BST, 1006 UTC, 1906 JST
by hudebnik at 3:49 PMby UKVal 5/21/2011 3:11:50 PM - @UKVal @Nancy Yes, it was paler/whiter than this when I first looked, then it was dark. And yes, that was the time in Japan - about 19:00hrs. Nice sunset.by es 5/21/2011 3:15:46 PM

This screenshot was taken a couple of minutes after the last.by es via I51.tinypic 5/21/2011 3:17:26 PM- @es - are you in Japan?by hudebnik 5/21/2011 3:24:35 PM
- @hudebnik No, Spain.by es 5/21/2011 3:28:05 PM
- just a thought -it appears to be raining on the cam - could all that steam just be due to arrival of heavy rain??by UKVal 5/21/2011 3:37:41 PM
- Weather in Fukushima, 80% change of thunderstorms
www.wunderground.comby deb 5/21/2011 3:45:02 PM - @UKVal The steam shows have had temps in the 50c range and moderate to high humidity. Temps run that range on other days. I think the temp and humidity could add to it but I don't think they would be the sole causeby Nancy 5/21/2011 3:49:52 PM
- @Nancy - yep it does seem unlikely. But if not watering & not solely differences in temp & humidity (as these don't always accompany the steam) then I'm puzzledby UKVal 5/21/2011 3:53:38 PM
This video is interesting, about x-rays and digital cameras, note the pink flash at 0:48 www.youtube.comby Bobby1 5/21/2011 3:57:26 PM- I'm certain the bright flash and pink colour cast weren't down to rain or humidity! es's first pic was taken I guess 5-6 mins after the white flash. @nancy can you correlate the previous big smoke displayes with what happens on this chart of #3 temperatures? Interestingly the tech part of Tepco's website with current data is returning errors.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 3:57:31 PM
- by hudebnik 5/21/2011 3:57:38 PM
- @bobby1 that pink flas is very interestingby hudebnik 5/21/2011 3:59:11 PM
- or flash evenby hudebnik 5/21/2011 3:59:17 PM
@Nancy I missed the flashing etc but after the hot high rise steam/smokeing stopped there was a period of high steam /smoke from #4 sfp and then there was extremely heavy low level smoke that was dense and spread horizontally centrered on #3by elainekirk 5/21/2011 4:01:17 PM- To protect against potential damage as a result of future earthquakes, TEPCO started work on 9 May to install a supporting structure for the floor of the spent fuel pool of Unit 4. www.iaea.org Could that be the cause of the lights and steam?by LE 5/21/2011 4:01:35 PM

- hi @LE sorry you were waiting to be approved you are now on autopostby elainekirk 5/21/2011 4:02:13 PM
- No it wasn't a light, it was a blinding flash, very like one of the old films of an H-bomb test in appearanceby hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:02:40 PM
- Tho obv. as the plant was still there afterwards that wasn't it.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:03:06 PM
- I reckon it took about 12-15 mins for the camera picture to return to normal, by which time darkness had fallen.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:04:27 PM
- I worked in TV for many years and I've never seen a camera behave like that.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:06:45 PM
- I've seen a pink hue which lasted for around 5-10 mins on 2 or 3 occasions - once 2x within 2 hours. What was interesting this am was the white 'over exposure' which followed it & the strange aura around 3 which could only be seen by looking at the screen obliquelyby UKVal 5/21/2011 4:07:21 PM
- @elainekirk Hi Elaine! the series of events where 4 is involved beyond the SFP steaming is so odd. It makes me wonder if there is a conduit of some type between the buildings at a low or underground level. If hydrogen leaked over through it, smoke and steam from low levels at 3 could come out it too?by Nancy 5/21/2011 4:09:43 PM
- like the walkway you found.by Nancy 5/21/2011 4:10:00 PM
- @nancy I believe that the turbine rooms basements are the link that plan I posted last night shows them as a 'whole' I also wonder if the walkway was undergroundby elainekirk 5/21/2011 4:13:38 PM
by Bobby1 via Up3.viploader.net 5/21/2011 4:13:59 PM- @Bobby1 - you are a genius! Anything a couple of minutes before that?by hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:14:58 PM
- @hudebnik lookin...by Bobby1 5/21/2011 4:15:26 PM
- See what I mean folks? Like a bright light from between 2&3, actually a bit higher than roof height.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:16:07 PM
- Bearing in mind that the sun is behind the camera in the evening.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 4:17:13 PM
