reactor 3 has a foggy look to it?. I haven't been watching the cams daily so I'm not sure what is normal or not?.

@AustralianCannonball #1 steaming from below.
by Edano 6/9/2011 11:20:31 PM

@cannonball I am thinking they have opened the containment doors on #1 and that filth is high radiation laden and polluting heavily our atmosphere
by elainekirk 6/9/2011 11:21:32 PM

didn't they want to install magical filters ?
by Edano 6/9/2011 11:22:30 PM

i mean, before letting the shit out ?
by Edano 6/9/2011 11:23:02 PM

@edano Has this been happening on other days with reactor 1?.
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:23:37 PM

@AustralianCannonball : no

@Edano they installed magic filters and ran them. I think they didn't have enough magic. :-)

Thanks Dean! Ft. Calhoun is the NPP that had no functional flood plan. Their new and improved flood plan was to have extra diesel fuel on hand and actually have a contract lined up for sand bags. This is what I was worried about. SFP at ground level and a crappy flood plan (sandbags). They will be dealing with considerable flooding for at least a month. If you have looked at the photos Ft. Calhoun is on grade with the river bank.

While a diesel-powered backup pump was available at the Fort Calhoun Station, it was not needed, said Mike Jones, a spokesman for the Omaha Public Power District, which operates the plant. No radiation was released and no other significant damage was reported.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Eliot Brenner said power was restored to the first pump in about two hours, although the utility said it took only one hour.

Fort Calhoun's fuel pool was not physically damaged, and the utility estimated it would take about 80 hours before the pool water started boiling and evaporating, giving workers time to react.

The reactor was shut down in April for refueling and has not restarted because of rising water along the Missouri River. Federal officials said temperatures in the pool never topped 83 degrees.

"It was not even tepid bath water," Brenner said.

Nebraska state officials were notified, but the utility was able to control the fire before any significant state response was needed.

"What I saw is, from our perspective, that the emergency procedures at Fort Calhoun were activated, utilized and initiated per plan in response to the incident," said Al Berndt, assistant director of Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. "In that regard, I'm very comfortable with what happened."

The incident comes after the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Japan prompted U.S. regulators and industry officials to re-examine the safety of storing nearly 55,000 tons of spent, radioactive fuel in water pools across the country. gives some time frame to boil off calhoun SFP water...(80 hrs_

@AustralianCannonball @Edano There's been some gunge-spraying of Unit 1, hence the odd look to the building - don't think we can see any smoke or steam from there right now.

I saw that photo of calhoun,,, USA has some issues to deal with and the public vote will really come to bear on NRC and utililties
by dean 6/9/2011 11:32:16 PM

@edano What is your proffesional opinion of reactor 1 at the moment besides the obvious?
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:32:23 PM

For those worried about #1 - its been sprayed with dust inhibitor (no longer green but now original beige).
by alphaspheric 6/9/2011 11:33:29 PM

They sprayed it quickly.
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:33:58 PM

Considering how big it is. I mean you cannot even see anyone or anything spraying it?
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:34:43 PM

@AustralianCannonball sorry ? professional ? sick, very sick, hopelessly sick.
by Edano 6/9/2011 11:34:52 PM

@edano It is unwell!.
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:35:30 PM

there were earlier photos and videos of the spray operation which to me looked somewhat ineffective as not all of the building seemed to be sprayed.
by dean 6/9/2011 11:36:25 PM

@dean thanks for that clarification. They should put some art on them!.
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:37:08 PM

I'm sure they would like to put a picture of a perfectly good building on the walls
by dean 6/9/2011 11:38:00 PM

@daen lol
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:38:14 PM

Maybe just spraying portions that have more residue? Or they fail at painting? Maybe we can get them to light project something interesting in the overnight on the side of what is left. :-)
by lillymunster 6/9/2011 11:38:43 PM

There building a replica somewhere and will cut the cam over at some point!.

Edano .. you always have the perfect stuff... brilliant
by dean 6/9/2011 11:40:06 PM

If it wasn't so serious this could be a comedy act starring TEPCO.
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:40:35 PM

OK I should stop TEPCO bashing.
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:41:03 PM

Hope they go broke!
by AustralianCannonball 6/9/2011 11:41:24 PM

@AustralianCannonball : oh, we've been laughing quite often about tepco all that time.
by Edano 6/9/2011 11:41:27 PM

lilly, you probably saw that spray.. seems like they just washed down that one spot on the one side of the building which flooded the gunk all over the roof of the attached building.. I was wondering what they heck are they doing
