  • (Reuters) - A loud noise was heard outside a reactor building at Japan's quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant as the operator of the plant cleared away rubble, Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) said on Tuesday.

    There was no change in radiation levels at the plant's monitoring posts and no one was injured, a Tokyo Electric official told reporters.

    Some people at the plant suspect that a gas cylinder in the rubble may have been damaged and made the sound, the official said.

    Tokyo Electric said it was gathering information on the cause of the sound and will give more details at a planned daily briefing from 4 a.m. EDT.

  • @angie I think we need to clamp down on posts that are critical of other posts, everyone should feel they can post and that responses will be informative rather than critical re the content off their post.
    It is laziness to say 'that's rubbish' if people want to raise issue with the content of a post they should do so using reasoned argument.

  • @elainekirk I think we are going to have to do just that, as I think it makes people uncomfortable posting as they do not know if they are going to get jumped on................

  • Explosion heard near No.4 reactor

    The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is looking into reports that a blast was heard on the south side of the plant's No.4 reactor.

    Tokyo Electric Power Company says workers reported the sound at around 2:30 PM on Tuesday.

    It says no fire or smoke has been spotted, and there have been no noticeable changes in radiation levels at monitoring posts within the compound. No injuries have been reported.

    The utility says unmanned heavy machinery removing debris at the site may have damaged what may be a gas cylinder and caused it to explode.

  • @hudebnik hmm me too..............They must of moved them while they have been doing the site. Maybe @Elaine or @Veenie knows where the good link is for them.
    by Angie 5/31/2011 9:31:05 AM

  • @Veenie It is an excellent video about an excellent service. In my experiences, and I watch them both, EMSC is much faster at reporting than USGS, and sometimes gets EQs (>M4.5) that USGS misses. {I listened to it in the original language since I speak French.]

  • G'morning @all. Nice to see a new view of Daiichi! For info, I can't view the new TEPCO live feed in my browser but it plays just fine in a stand-alone media player - I'm currently using VLC to capture and view the live network stream from:http://mfile.akamai.com/127380/live/reflector:51361.asx?bkup=52045&prop=a
