@George Gibb it is great to see you have you got the weekend off

@elainekirk btw - this site is an auto payment to my master card - which got me thinking that when I got the email from tech support about closing the site for maintenance - they didn't because I had an auto payment set up and they had a payment for that month.

@George Gibb many of us are willing to help out george this scrib is what holds it all together :) we were anticipating a quiet weekend due to the holiday but the guardian seem to be leading up to something so it may not be that quiet :)

@George Gibb thank you :) Tepco setting up a company to buy energy to sell to tepco stinks of money laundering don't you think?

@George Gibb yup

I was just watching that au 60 minutes doc posted on SimplyInfo - good one

yes its scary that the tax payers end up flipping the bill for these mega disasters.

@George Gibb governments, legal systems etc work for the big companies not the citizens

good morning every one

Morning All - I'm around for the day and will drop by between house work

later I have some cool pics to show everyone - after i get back from the office

@George Gibb Thanks, we are working on putting a new theme on it so we can display more articles and info all at once on the home page. We have so much content coming in that we have to decide what ends up on the home page. Veenie and Elaine have been doing a great job using twitter to drive people to the site. We had a couple of other sites pick up our original content.

@lillymunster Right on - I learned a lot this morning from that site

be safe George we need you .... I'll put a word in for your safety and your families while your away

bbl - finish mowing the grass lol

George.. I would like to have permission to send a gift certificate to lilly and elaine for dinner for 2.. they have surpassed every level of excellence in every way in support of the simplyinfo, here, twitter, facebook .... so now.. just to figure out how to make that happen.. elaine.. lilly.. .do you have paypal? or how could I do this... also.. I would like to do the same for Edano

@dean Right on Dean!

@dean looking at it now. Daini has been taking advantage of everyone being focused on Daiichi

I just earned my darwin award lol

unit 1, residual heat removal system (RHR) A disabled due to earthquake, RHR B lost but later restored to service 1:24 March 14th, Emergency power supplied by B emergency generator (EG) at unit 2 and B EG at unit 3, no venting from building noted, and s lost due to earthquake, unit B RHR system resorted, at 5:35 March 11th reactor coolant has leaked due to pressure increase in reactor containment vessel then later at 6:23 was reported no reactor cooland has leaked.. (that was fast and i wonder how they snapped to that decision in less than one hour), 6:33 pm march 11 reported that reactor cooling function is lost, 5:22 a.m. march 12 function of suppression chamber is lost, 10:15 a.m. march 14 suppression chamber temperature less than 100C , 10:07 march 14 radiation levels increase at boundary, 9:30 a.m. April 3 site boundary radiation levels down to 5 micro Sv

this tells me they lost RHR capability, Relief valves probably lifted so many times to keep pressure under control that they heated the suppression chamber until it was not functional, not a mention of the vessel level but from the other units at daichi, we know the level was not maintained. "if" there was fuel damage, the hydrogen may not have been enough to accumulate and explode, at least nothing reported and they did say they did not vent the building(if that is right). my suspicion is, significant damage to the RHR system and probably other systems, they could mentioned what battery source they had and what emergency core cooling they had but they omitted that so assumed it wasn't functional either, I would say.. not good for unit 1 at daini...

yes @lilly.. I would like to see the electrical schematic drawing showing how units 2 and 3 provide emergency diesel power to unit 1... that would act to over
load those generators, they are huge generators but do have capacity limits.
