@Bo I'm glad. Ty.

There is a still from the old single-shot TeppyCam that shows smoke coming out a stack, I was surprised when I saw it in a youtube-video compilation of TeppyCam stills. I can't recall what stack it was, nor at the moment exactly where that video is.

And here we can see the Unit 3 stack vented many times from the 13th through the 14th, so the stacks was open : www.youtube.com

Work underway for nitrogen injection

Work is underway at the damaged nuclear power plant in Fukushima to reduce radiation levels in the Number 3 reactor container. The move is necessary before nitrogen gas can be pumped in to prevent a hydrogen explosion.

According to Tokyo Electric Power Company's schedule to stabilize the plant, the utility needs to inject nitrogen into the containers of the first 3 reactors by July 17th. Nitrogen has already been injected into the Number 1 and 2 reactor containers.

On Friday, a US-made robot began clearing contaminated dust and debris from the floors of the Number 3 reactor building. However, radiation levels inside the building are still high with readings of between 50 and 186 millisieverts per hour.

The radiation levels need to be reduced to one-third before workers are able to begin the nitrogen injection.
On Sunday, more than 50 sheets made of steel were laid on the floor. Work continues on Monday to fill the gaps between the steel sheets.

TEPCO plans to start connecting the pipes to inject the nitrogen on Friday and hopes to complete the nitrogen injection by July 17th. Cooling the reactors and preventing more hydrogen blasts are the top priorities in TEPCO's plan to stabilize the plant.

The minister in charge of the nuclear disaster, Goshi Hosono, says once the government is able to verify that the blast prevention measures are in place, it will consider lifting an evacuation advisory for certain areas 20 to 30 kilometers from the plant.

Chubu Electric calls on state to support efforts to restart Hamaoka

TOKYO, July 4, Kyodo

Chubu Electric Power Co. President Akihisa Mizuno called Monday on the industry ministry to support the utility's efforts to seek an early resumption of operations of its Hamaoka nuclear power plant, which has been shut down at the government's request for safety reasons.

In a request handed to industry minister Banri Kaieda, Chubu Electric said it wants the government to explain to rating agencies and financial institutions that Hamaoka would be suspended for a ''limited period'' and sought the utility's exemption from petroleum and coal tax during the period of the plant's suspension.

The company also wants the government to set something like a moratorium over the payment of contributions to a state-backed entity, which is expected to be set up to financially assist Tokyo Electric Power Co. pay massive compensation to those affected by the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Mizuno said. english.kyodonews.jp

In Le Monde The Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) announced Monday, July 4, it authorized the operation for another ten years of the nuclear reactor number one station Fessenheim (Haut-Rhin), subject to work. The reactor "is able to be operated for a period of ten additional years provided you follow a number of requirements," said the president of the ASN, Andre-Claude Lacoste. ASN requests including building before June 30, 2013, the floor slab of concrete on which the reactor was built.
Built in 1977, Fessenheim is the oldest nuclear power plant operated by EDF. It consists of two pressurized water reactors of 900 megawatts each. Many Alsatian organizations are concerned about seismic hazard in the region. Fessenheim was designed to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or 0.5 more than the earthquake in Basel in 1356, estimated at 6.2. This item is screaming environmentalists who protest that we can evaluate from an earthquake stories of monks at a time when seismographs did not exist, and determine its magnitude on a scale developed six centuries later.

@Pedro Jesus : i am not surprised :) but when can we see your researches ?

i drink green tea, i looked on the package, it does not say where it is from :(

@Edano I've started writing the text but there's still a lot of networking that requires more in-depth investigation. I'm going to post a brief schematics of the networking so others can assist because there's more information than I can handle at the moment and I'm very busy with work (music). I've traced connections from Kurion all the way to the Weapons Industry. Not nuclear, though, only conventional weapons, so far. I can't foresee a specific date but I'll try my best to post something in the near future.

Fukushima to begin checking people for internal exposure next week

@Edano , "Water flow falls at No.1 reactor, but restored" . This type of information is totally cryptic and very disconcerting. Where do the 3.7 tons of water every hour precisely go, and how can it be that they suddenly do not arrive in the vessel?
