  • @hudebnik : a good idea, but #2 has -4000 readings in fact .....
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:29:05 PM

  • @you : on march 14 it lost all its water from +4000 to -4000.

  • Thats the nitrogen cooling measurement LOL

  • I don't understand enough to know how if fuel is leaking out they think water is staying in

  • @Ralph Unger : when tepco reports some small holes in rpv, you must not forget that this is the situation two months ago ! they do not talk about today's state.
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:42:50 PM

  • Yep, a hole two months ago no doubt sealed itself. :-)
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 8:43:59 PM

  • @Ralph Unger : this is tepco speak ! you got it !
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:44:36 PM

  • 10cm in 2 & 3, 7cm in 1, right? Since TEPCO was pretty specific about sizes, they know where it's leaking. 10cm=corium sieve? (Are those graphite seals 10cm?) So what'c 7cm in R1?
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:44:43 PM

  • too small for vent pipe?
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:45:37 PM

  • I look at this site for a quick update. allthingsnuclear.org
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 8:45:49 PM

  • @radioguy : i assume they mean the control rod openings.
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:46:42 PM

  • No, it is a straight burn through.
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 8:47:07 PM

  • yes, but are the rods 3cm different in BWR-3 and BWR-4?
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:47:30 PM

  • @Ralph Unger By now, yes, but in TST (TEPPY Standard Time) it's still the original holes.
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:48:30 PM

  • Read the reports, no control rods are mentioned.
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 8:48:35 PM

  • think I've found the person to whom the 'mother from Fukushima' gave the letter. awaiting confirmation. In the search I found this site which posts news on Fukushima ordered under country of origin: fukushimanewsresearch.wordpress.com
    by UKVal 5/28/2011 8:49:17 PM

  • i think, when they are so specific about the size of the holes, they must refer to burnt sealings. how should they know it else ?
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:50:07 PM

  • @Ralph Unger i know. they just quote sizes for the holes. but it's been understood for a while that the graphite seals are the weak spot. they seal around the control rods.

  • Re link below <Fukushima News Online is an online archive of Fukushima Daiichi reportage drawn from English-language mainstream and indie online news sites and blogs in Japan, USA and Europe.

    The aim is to provide an open and easily-accessible archive of news links for students of Japanese history, politics, anthropology, comparative media studies and those interested in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the way in which it is being reported.

    The archive is maintained by Nuno Correia, an anthropologist with a particular interest in Japan and internet-related issues.>

  • @Bobby1 oh boy.
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:51:09 PM

  • @Bobby1 : surely old plutonium from bomb tests ;)
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:51:50 PM

  • Did anyone else read the reports? www.tepco.co.jp
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 8:52:02 PM

  • @radioguy @Edano That's a $2,200 radiation detector.
    by Bobby1 5/28/2011 8:53:50 PM

  • @Bobby1 : groundwater ?
    by Edano 5/28/2011 8:57:02 PM

  • @Ralph Unger Yes. Nice, simple, say nothing really. Good reference for a few minor points, but that's about it.
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:57:36 PM

  • I'll put a few excerpts and a link on the TEPCO
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:58:43 PM

  • @Edano It's on grass and vegetation in the video.
    by Bobby1 5/28/2011 8:59:04 PM

  • page on the blog. (puppt typing... always an adventure.)
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 8:59:39 PM

  • @Radio, we will wait for the IAEA report, That should be fun.
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 9:03:17 PM

  • IEAE should be flaming TEPCO , so many mistakes and they caused the accident, not bad designs, which we all know is a lie.
    by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 9:05:32 PM

  • Could someone help me fill in the headings on the TEPCO stats on this live page for R1&R2 temps?

  • Hi all!
    Did I miss anything major today?
    by Nancy 5/28/2011 9:05:40 PM

  • I have the R3 ones, but they don't match up at all.
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 9:06:19 PM

  • (with R1/R2)
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 9:06:43 PM

  • Matsudo is about 180 km from the plant. There was a report a while ago of a rice farmer 48 km from the plant who had plutonium measured in a lab.
    by Bobby1 5/28/2011 9:06:44 PM

  • @radioguy I see a paragraph of text and a big blank page.
    by Nancy 5/28/2011 9:07:04 PM

  • it takes time to load the live stats.
    by radioguy 5/28/2011 9:07:22 PM

  • @radioguy Ah! very nice :-)
    by Nancy 5/28/2011 9:07:44 PM

  • shouldn't the descriptors be the same for each reactor temp or pressure reading group?
