@RadioGuy, surely such a massive difference would be detected by contrast to private-citizen monitoring, which by my observations have matched official radiation data with the exception that official data never (afaik) tests the ground, and when citizens test the ground (in Japan) they sometimes get some really high readings. See www.youtube.com

This is an English source of the three-decimal-places-off claim, and it links to a Japanese source : japanfocus.org It's certainly possible in some places at some times, but I'm skeptical based on citizen-derived data of massive global data falsification.

@Ian That was as as far as I could follow the Haraguchi Kazuhiro reference as well. I found that same article linked differently.

On that heat map: that right hand section is so organized, which is, what I (silly me) would expect for a pool designed for the systematic aging and storage-till-removal of spent assemblies. Hot to cool, the green either ready to remove or unused, though I'd think if it were unused and you were merely storing it you might put it all together like that one cool block in the lower middle? What's with that smaller right hand area; different layer?

I meant the two columns on the right with the nice even temperature gradient.

@RadioGuy, right same here. And my thinking is the two columns on the right contain the coldest fuel in the pool, and fuel most recently removed from the core wouldn't be the coldest.

I assumed this two-pool claim true at first since it came by way of a reliable source, but looking into it, it only
falls apart.

What's disturbing about the two-pool claim atomicinsights.com is that much details is given to how it was damaged by the explosion, and it's presented as fact, not theory. So it rings of a hoax. It's attributed MURRAY E. MILES and what lookslike a fake school keeseschool.org The alleged author has this blog michelekearneynuclearwire.blogspot.com with no entry resembling that quoted at the source atomicinsights.com Which is authored by a pro-nuke guy who attacks Arnie.

@Ian @Radioguy IDK if it helps, but I do remember that new fuel is put into the spf to 'catch' some radioactivity before it is inserted into the well...Don't know more than that, tho.

@lillymunster That was my take on that atomicinsights story, too. That myth is interesting, though, because their hypothesis seems to be "since we know this other pool was there, and we don't see it now, it must have been destroyed." It started with a postulation that we can only take on faith that the author actually knows to be true. May I postulate a third layer that was also destroyed then?

Much of the disinformation is attributable lay people making factual errors about complex information, but when people who should know better spout it, it's either total, unquestioning belief in what you're fed, or it's dropping seeds of patently incorrect information so they can be picked up and magnified if they gain any traction.

A certain level of inaccuracy is normal, but there's a level of disinformation I think of these days as the Dan Rather level: Rather, not as propagator, but as victim. When your scoop turns out to be a false bombshell and blows up in your face, that is then magnified as discrediting everything else you ever said. I think there is a fair amount of information poisoning going on out there. It's the dark side of the branch of psyops we call PR and marketing.

@Edano Nah, that could never happen. These guys are professionals.

It all just leaves you shaking your head in disbelief.

@Edano Oddly enough, that hose image is almost bang on the black-humor image I have of the insides of that plant. Just like that all over. It's almost eerie how close it looks to my internal parody.

@Edano chuckling. Probably a bit much from a public still struggling with picobequerems. ;)

@Edano Right up there with the disconnected hoses on the magical mashine that no one noticed were disconnected. "But why isn't it working?"
