@Dude The webpage at www.fukushimadaiichi.jp shows the current time, not the image shot time.

yep you must be right considering blueish in the evenning and grey in the morning
by Dude 6/10/2011 9:48:12 PM

it looked too calm anyway considering the big steam mess at 4am

yes, that just helps to figure out that we dont know how the scene looked like from that angle :[

by this time, any smoke or steam vapor coming off the reactors that is of a dark or off normal color is cause of concern. remember back when we thought there was an oil fire or some thing like diesel

@Dude The TEPCO cam was blue at 4.15am.

@dean @elainekirk : do you mean these peaks ? they are at #1 :( www.houseoffoust.com and tepco now states an instrument failure

WolfDK said that he would be recording the event i hope he can make the clip available for analysis when he is back
by Dude 6/10/2011 9:53:41 PM

@edano wow now I can understand that it means *&^^&& doesn't it?
by elainekirk 6/10/2011 9:53:56 PM

@es well you see my snapshot from that stillcam we only need to clarify if the cam shoots at 4am or not
by Dude 6/10/2011 9:55:06 PM

by the way: meanwhile i translated the "notes" section on the data sheets. it shows that tepco states daily another instrument failure. seems there won't be many correct readings left with the time.
by Edano 6/10/2011 9:57:18 PM

@es but anyway on that high contrast pic you cant really see much! the only result we can have with comparison from streamcam is that on stillcam its rather clear and on streamcam ist like milksoup (if its a 4am shot, if not we can forget that one)
by Dude 6/10/2011 9:58:24 PM

Yeah, I am pretty sure that 4 is still smoking
by wrshpr 6/10/2011 10:01:40 PM

@edano I agree but the smoke/steam seems a tad darker to me..could be optical illusion.

if found someone who captured the event on tbs and tapco cam and uploaded it news.lucaswhitefieldhixson.com

I was send that earlier but i am not getting notifications soon enough sorry.

THe Lucaswhitefieldhickson video you can see flashes on it.

@all I've been looking back at some TEPCO screenshots. Please look at these two, captured ten seconds apart (date on top right, Japan time). I think you'll see what I see and maybe someone knows what it is?
@LM was that anywhere near where you saw the flash?

Ten seconds after the still shown below.

2 TEPCO workers confirmed with radiation doses more than twice limit

by Edano 6/10/2011 10:28:32 PM

Have a couple more that I am working on uploading now
by deb 6/10/2011 10:29:14 PM

@lilly agreed, distinct flashes on that video. Compare with my original flash on 21 May fukushimafaq.wikispaces.com I theorised at the time whether it could be some sort of air ionisation effect caused by radiation releases - so far neither proved or disproved. But it sure looked as if something was going on tonight!
by hudebnik 6/10/2011 10:29:22 PM

@es It was to right of the stack furthest to the right..There is something there but I saw a much brighter flash.
by LM 6/10/2011 10:30:03 PM

How does Lucas make his tepco screen big? Miss the TBS/JNN feed so much :(
by deb 6/10/2011 10:30:42 PM

My non techi thoughts on the steam - I cannot see how they can get that amount of water needed to create such a volume of steam into 1 source i.e, #4sfp so I think they must be frantically pouring water in at least 2 locations
by elainekirk 6/10/2011 10:30:57 PM

@ elaine I think That coruim melt through has found ground water.
by carabnr 6/10/2011 10:31:55 PM

@lm thanks I can see it now I was going boz eyed trying to spot it but it is obvious one you know where to look

Radiation in No. 3 reactor too high for work

The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says radiation levels in one of the reactor buildings remain too high for workers to do their jobs.

Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, sent 9 workers into the No.3 reactor building for about 20 minutes on Thursday, in a bid to start stabilizing the reactor.

The utility plans to inject nitrogen gas into the containment vessel to prevent accumulated hydrogen from causing an explosion. It also intends to install a system to cool the reactor with circulating water.

The workers withdrew after measuring radiation of 100 millisieverts per hour near the reactor's containment vessel.

TEPCO says it intended to limit the workers' exposure to below 5 millisieverts per hour. But as all 9 received higher doses, it has suspended work while considering a course of action.

@hudebnik I noticed flashes around the plants and a few small ones in the bushes. So either something past the bushes or some sort of small sparks in the air?
