  • 3 seems to be churning hard but can't see well due to the angle. You can see if you look where it meets the clouds.

  • @elainekirk Yes, he likes to circulate his money. I can't blame him... it's the only way to keep it safe nowadays. He is also very fond of circulating his influence.

  • OMG 4 has the steam column and huge plumes going out sideways. Never seen this before.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:53:05 PM

  • @Pedro Jesus he seems to profit well off of the poltical things he can influence.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:53:30 PM

  • @Lilly It's definitely OMG...can you imagine the doses they're getting?!
    by LM 6/13/2011 5:53:55 PM

  • ok, they have connections to cia and nuke business and lots of money. sounds like a federal state company, not like a private one.
    by Edano 6/13/2011 5:53:58 PM

  • Looks like 2 plumes, one straight up (i think steam) and another at an angle (smoke)

  • @lillymunster @Edano But then we have a Greenpeace Chairman in the lot, Patrick Moore. I think this research is going to take a bit longer than I anticipated.
    by Pedro Jesus 6/13/2011 5:54:55 PM

  • his book seems to have flopped though www.amazon.co.uk
    by elainekirk 6/13/2011 5:55:28 PM

  • either the cloud ceiling is getting lower or the steam/smoke is filling things in.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:55:41 PM

  • @elainekirk 1 pence, ey ?
    by Edano 6/13/2011 5:56:10 PM

  • @Pedro Jesus let me know if you need anything. I noticed that this morning a CIA chief and a Greenpeace principal. Must be some interesting board meetings.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:56:25 PM

  • @Lilly I think the smoke has been filling the sky..every now and then when the plumes lighten up you see some lift. It's been chugging for a while.
    by LM 6/13/2011 5:57:01 PM

  • @lillymunster I hope they wear protective gear at those meetings. LOL
    by Pedro Jesus 6/13/2011 5:57:05 PM

  • If something big happens i think Tepco cam will go tone and bars :(
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 5:57:27 PM

  • @lillymunster : i can't help. it sounds like homeland security.
    by Edano 6/13/2011 5:57:35 PM

  • @Edano That is really typical private sector in the US. Our private sector acts like their own country sometimes. There is a reason they call Washington DC the swamp. ;-)
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:57:42 PM

  • This is really weird there is a steam column and also the smoke/steam going sideways has force behind it.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:59:26 PM

  • @Edano Huh? :-)
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 5:59:34 PM

  • Wow..This is scary looking. What do we know about burning SFPs? Are isotopes more volatile?
    by LM 6/13/2011 5:59:36 PM

  • @lillymunster Could that be an effect of hot steam creating a pressure difference in the relative cold ait ?
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:00:37 PM

  • @LM I know it dumps lots into the air. Not sure if it puts fission products into the air, probably depends on if it is burn or reactions too.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 6:00:49 PM

  • ait = air
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:00:55 PM

  • @LM They're not a pretty sight. Do you see any hints of fire?
    by Pedro Jesus 6/13/2011 6:02:17 PM

  • @Lilly My concern is that we normally see only 1 or 2 plumes from 4 and this morning it seems like the entire roof is involved.
    by LM 6/13/2011 6:02:36 PM

  • @Pedro Jesus Not yet, but i was looking for exactly that
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:02:45 PM

  • @WolfDK The sideways steam goes at about a 45degree angle or more and doesn't seem to hit a layer of air. Really odd to see it go off at an angle yet a hard straight up column at the same time. I looked on the TBS cam and only get a faint outline of the cloud above.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 6:03:04 PM

  • well, that's just what cooling looks like. that's all.
    by Edano 6/13/2011 6:03:36 PM

  • @Pedro There have been moments when it looked like sparks were being thrown up but it's hard to know whether it's just the camera.
    by LM 6/13/2011 6:03:55 PM

  • Anybody who knows how this heat / cooling (thermal stresses) will/could affect the SFP ?
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:03:57 PM

  • .. or its support structure
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:04:59 PM

  • @LM I saw what looked like light changes down low by the ground, like something went in front of the flood lights. So there is likely crew doing something.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 6:05:02 PM

  • by Edano via Wirtschaft 6/13/2011 6:05:15 PM

  • @WolfDK what support structure....
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 6:05:21 PM

  • @Lilly I suspected that too.
    by LM 6/13/2011 6:05:29 PM

  • only cooling ...
    by Edano 6/13/2011 6:05:31 PM

  • @lillymunster I also saw lights, trucks or big construction flodlights moving around the base of #4
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:06:21 PM

  • seeing lots of light flashes down at the lower levels like truck lights
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 6:06:40 PM

  • @edano Well I guess it's dam hot because it's not very cold there now...It's 64F.
    by LM 6/13/2011 6:06:51 PM

  • @lillymunster something like that, meant what little there is left of it
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:06:59 PM

  • by Edano via Diepresse 6/13/2011 6:07:02 PM

  • @Edano What are you trying to say, that its just steam from cooling the SFP ?
    by WolfDK 6/13/2011 6:07:54 PM

  • @WolfDK yes
    by Edano 6/13/2011 6:08:25 PM

  • @Edano I think it is a bit more than cooling steam. The NPP we used to live by would do some pretty epic steam releases when the hot water would hit the river. This is churning too hard for just cooling. Either they let it get way too hot and low on water before trying to water it or something went wonky and they have a problem.
    by lillymunster 6/13/2011 6:08:33 PM

  • The whole roof is involved..I've never seen that before..
