Lots of smoke on TeppyCam. www.tepco.co.jpby LM 5/22/2011 7:57:40 PM- @LM wow, that image looks old, like earlier this morning? I wonder if it stopped updating again?by Nancy 5/22/2011 7:59:03 PM
@Nancy www.tepco.co.jp is the link for the photos. I'll keep looking for any others.by Reed 5/22/2011 8:00:01 PM- @Nancy You're right! I jumped the gUn. It's from 7pm last night. Sorry!by LM 5/22/2011 8:00:22 PM
@LM have you been watching the steam from 4 - seems to be billowing rather than steaming but it's hard to make outby UKVal 5/22/2011 8:00:28 PM
@Nancy maybe pressure should be put on the Red Cross to ensure that money given to the people actually reaches them!!by elainekirk 5/22/2011 8:00:48 PM- New one comes up in a minute or 2...by LM 5/22/2011 8:00:49 PM
- @Nancy Interesting to see that image though...given a lot of us were asleep. Lots of smoke all day yesterday.by LM 5/22/2011 8:01:58 PM

- @LM nor have I. Of course we couldn't see anything for most of yesterday...by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:09:29 PM
- @UKVal True..it just seems like 4 has been in serious trouble all week. Who knows?!by LM 5/22/2011 8:10:32 PM
Good news! According to the Japanese ministry of education, there is no radiation in Japan. Looks like we were worried about nothing. www.mext.go.jp www.mext.go.jpby Bobby1 5/22/2011 8:19:16 PM- @Bobby1 oh good! so the steam really is just TEPCO staff taking saunas & everyone can go home...by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:21:42 PM
- @Bobby1 Note..Fukushima Prefecture results not listed. Yikes...all the others are bogus too! If we're getting detectable readings here in CA they can't say they're not detecting any!by LM 5/22/2011 8:22:00 PM
- @LM @UKVal And the Chinese and South Korean prime ministers were eating Fukushima produce! Whew, I am so glad that governments are refuting these groundless rumors.by Bobby1 5/22/2011 8:24:12 PM
- @Veenie did you see the article I posted earlier re the earth's core melting' which might be an explanation for quake clusters?by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:25:07 PM
- @Bobby1 I knew our governments were all doing the Right Thing for us really.by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:25:46 PM
- @UKVal Governments are always motivated exclusively by the highest standards of altruism.by Bobby1 5/22/2011 8:27:52 PM
- @Bobby1 of course! so sad that people don't always see that - creates such much groundless anxiety and anger...by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:29:08 PM
- @Bobby1?I nearly spit out my drink when I read about that wonderful press op. I wonder where the food REALLY came from or whether they didn't mind dosing them a little. Crazy stuff!by LM 5/22/2011 8:29:27 PM
- @LM It probably came from George Bush's ranch in Paraguay...by Bobby1 5/22/2011 8:30:26 PM
- @LM I reckon it was the genuine article. In the UK at the height of the BSE crisis a government minister was filmed feeding beef to his young daughter.by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:30:55 PM
- The Japanese have never had a cozy relationship with China or Korea. @Bobby1 LOL..probably right!by LM 5/22/2011 8:31:18 PM
Look at this graph, note p
recipitation: www.bousai.ne.jpby WolfDK 5/22/2011 8:31:29 PM- @UKVal I agree. I just wonder how they were feeling afterwards...maybe they were feeding scraps to the dogs under the table...by LM 5/22/2011 8:33:06 PM
- I just wonder how much money changed hands before the press op....The nuke lobby does it again!by LM 5/22/2011 8:36:16 PM
- @LM doggy bags or wiping mouth with very large napkinsby UKVal 5/22/2011 8:36:37 PM
- @UKVal LOL..Bathroom trips?by LM 5/22/2011 8:37:14 PM
- @LM that'd be the discreet way. Convenient plant pots?by UKVal 5/22/2011 8:38:19 PM
- I'd definitely be looking at the health of the plants in the vicinityby UKVal 5/22/2011 8:39:15 PM
- @UKVal Me too! LOL!by LM 5/22/2011 8:39:52 PM
TEPCO acknowledges ‘vapor’ is still being seen at Reactors No. 2, 3 and 4 spent fuel pools enenews.comby Majj 5/22/2011 8:56:23 PM- @Majj Wow.by LM 5/22/2011 8:58:04 PM
- That says it all doesn't it?!by LM 5/22/2011 8:59:28 PM
- Curiously absent...no reference to SFP 1. I wonder why?by LM 5/22/2011 9:00:47 PM

- @Bobby1 Wow! I'm curious to see how they plan on explaining away everything.by LM 5/22/2011 9:02:38 PM
- Nitrogen injections into Reactor No. 1 stopped for hours yesterday because of equipment malfunction — Backup device in use www3.nhk.or.jpby Majj 5/22/2011 9:03:44 PM
- @Bobby1 Koriyama has had highs in the 60's. Ridiculous.by LM 5/22/2011 9:04:33 PM
- The safety precautions at Indian Point may be worse than we'd thought. Nearly 40 percent of the nearby nuclear plant—which has been under increased scrutiny since the devastating earthquake in Japan led to a Chernobyl-level crisis around the Fukushima reactor there—has no manual fire suppression systems, like hydrants or fire extinguishers. And 63 percent of the plant is lacking in smoke, heat or flame detectors, the News reports.

Tepco Plans New System to Cool Reactors, Wall Street Journal by Kosaku Narioka, May 22, 2011:
[...] The troubled utility, known as Tepco, said it plans to build a cooling system with water-circulation pumps and heat-exchange equipment by the end of May at the reactor No. 2 spent-fuel pool, by June at the reactors No. 1 and No. 3 pools, and it plans to have an even more advanced cooling system for the No. 4 reactor pool by July, Tepco official Junichi Matsumoto told a news conference in Tokyo on Sunday.
The reactor No. 4 spent-fuel pool generates more heat than the others, he said, because the rods that have remaining active life are in it. [...]
Mr. Matsumoto said vapor is still seen sometimes from the spent fuel pools at reactors No. 2, 3 and 4, depending on the weather and wind direction of the day. [...]by Veenie 5/22/2011 9:06:53 PM - In the day that Heat make the nose to bleed, we all that live in the tropics would have red shirts.....by Majj 5/22/2011 9:13:08 PM
- @Majj good point!by UKVal 5/22/2011 9:17:13 PM
