good morning every one

i will take these numbers until we have better ones.

21 June vs. 20 June 6:00. #1 parameters pretty stable, still one temp over 100C. #2 pretty stable, small upticks in temperature, 3 of 4 temps still over 100C. #3 pretty stable, temps ranging 128 - 158C. "stable" just means parameters not changing much, not that the RPV is in a good state.

one thing on releases from fuku, I my experience when there is an accident the dose and plume experts have to have some starting point which in the case of many accidents is a standard set of percentages of halogens, noble gas etc. then the dose and plume experts start to work to calculate what's released, where it's going and project doses to the public

Pedro, your naked too. Pulled you out of mod.

Key water treatment system halts at Fukushima plant mdn.mainichi.jp "The utility said it believes that the pump, which is a component developed by France's Areva SA to inject chemicals into the key system to decontaminate radioactive materials, had stopped as it was overburdened by excessive liquid flow."

Accidental water flow into pool may have prevented fuel melting: TEPCO mdn.mainichi.jp "According to the utility, the No. 4 reactor's fuel pool had been connected with a storage pool containing radioactive substances through mobile shield plates...the hydrogen explosion at the No. 4 reactor and other factors on March 15 shifted the shield plates, allowing water from the adjacent pool to pour in and restore the water level."

N-bldg cover to be built, unbuilt, rebuilt www.yomiuri.co.jp "On-site assembly of the components is scheduled to start next Monday. TEPCO plans to complete the work in late September.
Final construction of the cover will be carried out by two giant cranes, which will be remote-controlled. A traditional Japanese insertion-only joint method, which does not employ welding or bolts for joining materials, is being used to assemble the cover."

@Pedro Jesus we had people randomly getting stuck in mod yesterday. No clue what was doing it.

Pool reinforcement continues at No.4 reactor www3.nhk.or.jp "The utility plans to wrap the pillars in concrete by the end of next month....TEPCO then plans to install the same type of circulatory cooling system used for the spent fuel pool at the No. 2 reactor...It hopes to lower the temperature of the pool at the No. 4 reactor, which remains high at around 86 degrees Celsius...But TEPCO found that the March 15th explosion damaged water pipes connected to the pool, which are integral parts of the cooling system."

bo a question.. what power does the emperor of japan have?

@bo What could happen if he were to speak out critical of the govt. inaction or speak out/advocate for the victims?

@lilly,,, a little read for you lucaswhitefieldhixson.com

Hi-res photographic proof reactor core exploded at unit 3

"The residents of Japan have good cause to mistrust the media, TEPCO officials, and members of their government when it comes to assurances about radiation levels, plutonium dispersal, and the related health risks.

Americans also have good cause to mistrust these same sort of assurances issued to American residents. The following is a letter I just sent to the Union of Concerned Scientists detailing evidence that the Fukushima unit 3 Reactor was the source of the massive hydrogen explosion a few weeks ago.... and the further implications of this easily verifiable fact.

Today I had another look at the diagram, and noticed something else quite significant that I had missed before. I realized that the top of the primary containment vessel was flush with the floor level of the 4th floor, and that the top of the reactor itself was in the space between the 3rd and 4th floors, partially surrounded by the spent fuel pool.

Look at those photos again, particularly the 5th shot. At the top of the photo you see the skeletal remnants of the wall of the 3rd and 4th floors. It is easy to see the floor level of the third floor - there are two massive steam pipes running behind and below the building...the lower edge of the lower pipe is almost perfectly aligned with the floor level of the 3rd floor. Follow the floor line of the third floor down down from that back wall along the right side of the building, then across the front side of the building near the bottom of the photo. That shows you the floor level of the 3rd floor very clearly, right? There is nothing but air remaining above that level, except for a bit of roof debris which you can see through. The top of the primary containment vessel, as well as the top of the reactor itself, is simply GONE........................"
