@Edano There was not enough isotope data available to estimate which ones are responsible, but you can figure I-131, Te-129m, Te-132 from the CTBTO data. Strontium is the joker in the deck.

@WolfDK re: video below- Was that an explosion or big flame up of fire? Why did it brighten up so much at the same time the smoke deluged the complex?

@Bobby1 WOW, lt's see if people pick this one up..duck for cover :-O
by Veenie 6/14/2011 12:38:36 AM

@ch Thats a real good question, something happened for sure and it did not look good!
by WolfDK 6/14/2011 12:39:04 AM

yw elaine.. I need to go down and look at that video
by dean 6/14/2011 12:39:42 AM

@Bobby1 Your Beta Radiation study is fantastic work!
The statistical analysis of that data seem to support the accuracy of the ZAMG models.
by Reed 6/14/2011 12:45:09 AM

that was some video,, ty elaine for posting... sure was windy.. that crooked light pole was moving and the vegetation,,,my heart dropped just to think of what is coming out into the atmosphere...
by dean 6/14/2011 12:46:37 AM

@bobby1 great work ! I will pin it when it moves down the wall
by elainekirk 6/14/2011 12:46:51 AM

@WolfDK Did you see a couple of very quick flashes at/by the building in the background behindR4? It was before the massive smoke started filling the screen. What is that building? The Central fuel pool is suppose to be relatively close to R4 but not sure of the direction.
by ch 6/14/2011 12:47:35 AM

@dean it is the guys at NuclearLeaks a Japanese site they tweeted like billyho and after 3 months of steam which normally doesnt drw a comment from them there had to be something to it translate.google.com
by elainekirk 6/14/2011 12:49:45 AM

@ch You are right, they are @ 1:06 in that video, i have no idea
by WolfDK 6/14/2011 12:58:33 AM

1:06 is a torchlight or a vehicle. what am i supposed to see on 2:18 ? i see fog creeping in from the sea.

Uploaded tonights video from 02.43 to around 07:30 to martin.torchedinduction.com (~200 MB)
by WolfDK 6/14/2011 1:03:14 AM

@dean I came very close to crying when I watched that video. (yes, no avatar, using my daughters computer, while visiting with her.)
by deb 6/14/2011 1:05:31 AM

@Edano could be, imho it seems to originate from unit #4
by WolfDK 6/14/2011 1:06:18 AM

@Edano Put the video in big screen and you will see a "stream" of smoke shooting straight up into the sky from #4.
by deb 6/14/2011 1:07:23 AM

@deb : i see the steam from #4, but the fog coming in is a different thing. it does not come from #4. come on.
by Edano 6/14/2011 1:08:25 AM

there is not so much water in to produce so much steam.

by Edano 6/14/2011 1:10:14 AM

@Edano Wishing I had both cams recorded, that would tell the tale, we would be able to see what happened on #4 much better. Would tell the tale. I will be happy with I am back home and can start recording again.
by deb 6/14/2011 1:11:14 AM

@Edano If that was fog creeping in it certainly overwhelmed the complex quickly! How to explain the extreme light variance that occurred at the same time? It was awfully bright. Besides you can see the smoke leaving R4 at high rapid volume. Pesonally don't think it's fog-didn't look like fog last night in real time either.
by ch 6/14/2011 1:12:01 AM

@Edano True but not sure there was really enough light on at the time to reflect that brightly.Also,watch carefully and it appears to brighten/dim/ brighten at one point.
by ch 6/14/2011 1:15:26 AM

Saw a spike in my geiger readings today. I have been averaging .09 uSv/hr to .12 uSv/hr. Today the average is .1766 uSv/hr. I am on the west coast, southern Oregon (about 30 miles above the California border.
by Lurking 6/14/2011 1:17:25 AM

have you never driven at night into a fog bank ? it is scary and so bright that you cannot see anything anymore. you have to dim the lights. and yees, it creeps very fast, along with the wind.

@Lurking Your readings today are comparable to (or a bit higher than) central Tokyo, or average areas in Chiba prefecture.
by Bobby1 6/14/2011 1:34:50 AM

@Bobby, strange, isn't it? Most days it has been pretty consistent. This was definitely a spike.
by Lurking 6/14/2011 1:45:40 AM

Well its Saturday June 11th, this reading was taken down by marianka1980's place. Well, at 0.30µSv/h people will get sick and at 0.50µSv/h the place is a ghost town, those are for readings taken 1 meter off the ground. youtu.be
by Majj 6/14/2011 1:46:18 AM

@Bobby1 Those numbers in your analysis are just what the projections led us to believe they would look like. Eureka just got hammered, but then, it rained nearly non-stop up there in March, and the month-long cycle of water up the coats, out to sea, around and back up the post bent out at Eureka and mostly missed the Bay Area before looping back in over San Diego. I was watching that rain flow pattern the whole time.
by radioguy 6/14/2011 1:47:35 AM

..up the coast, out to sea around and back up the coast. We joked all month about the damned recycled rainfall.
by radioguy 6/14/2011 1:48:46 AM

Actually that was our entire winter period from December to March. Luckily it was breaking down over the Bay Area by mid-March, which is why SF's numbers were comparatively low.
by radioguy 6/14/2011 1:52:31 AM

@radioguy It looped to San Diego and headed for Arizona, which got nailed good... then a branch went north to Utah and another one to Florida. Santa Fe NM got skipped over, but it's on the lee side of the mountains.
by Bobby1 6/14/2011 1:54:21 AM

If I see a more spikes, or if it stays higher than normal I will let you know
by Lurking 6/14/2011 1:57:29 AM

@bo Thanks, we're right there with you here in the US.
by Bobby1 6/14/2011 2:03:52 AM

It will be the subject of my next video so please dont steal my video!. Also that data neads to be captured as if they change the data it will change.
