@lillymunster. They don't seem to do a lot of work around 4 appart from the watering. The big cranes are still busy round #1 and #2. Are they still working on the water barriers?

or is it tents now?

There is a profound misunderstanding in the mass market today about the value of certified organic food. The question is not whether the 30% or more you pay at the register for an organic product is really worth the added vitamin, mineral and phyto-nutrient content you receive. Even though organic food does usually have considerably higher nutrient density, it is not always the positive quality of what it contains that makes it so special. Rather, it is what you know the organic food does not contain, or has not happened to it on its journey to your table, that makes buying organic a no-brainer to the educated consumer. Let me explain.
The FDA presently supports and actively promotes the use of Cobalt-60 culled from Nuclear Reactors as a form of "electronic pasteurization" on all domestically produced conventional food. The use of euphemisms like "food additive" and "pasteurization" to describe the process of blasting food with high levels of gamma-radiation can not obviate the fact that the very same death-rays generated by thermonuclear warfare to destroy life are now being applied to food to "make it safer." This sort of Orwellian logic, e.g. WAR is PEACE, is the bread and butter of State sponsored industry propaganda. www.greenmedinfo.com

guess to build the tent #1 is more simple than #3 ore #4

Last I heard they are going to move up putting in a barrier out on the seafront to keep runoff contained. I still think the tents have more PR value than radiation containment value.
by lillymunster 7/23/2011 11:39:56 PM

@Majj great links ty
by elainekirk 7/23/2011 11:41:47 PM

Yes, three reasons: you cant see whats going on inside, it looks a little "new", and (could be) to stop water drifting inside
by Puc 7/23/2011 11:43:58 PM

@Majj Great site. Nice to see a group trying to use the pubmed info for this. I do wish the NIH that runs pubmed would make all the full articles open to the public
by lillymunster 7/23/2011 11:44:06 PM

@All hi! I have been thinking something and just wanted to throw it out there....does anyone think they aren't tents they are making....it's a prelimanary construction skeleton for permanant entombment....that was my thought when I looked at a picture of one....IMHO it's well over engineered to be a "tent" frame! Thoughts?
by Thunder 7/23/2011 11:51:56 PM

@Thunder hmm. i wonder if there are specs on the frames?
by lillymunster 7/23/2011 11:54:27 PM

@Thunder I think the frames are to become the building, none of the buildings are stable and a harsh wind will cause then to tumble. #4 sfp was probably shored up internally ready for the outer building being pulled down
by elainekirk 7/23/2011 11:56:52 PM

I wish google earth would give us a new image. They have a pristine 2004 image then one from 12th March 2011 13th 14th 17th and 19th of March and then they stopped. No new image since then.
by Cat 7/24/2011 12:04:33 AM

Bet they will take a nice new one when all the little tents are up and we can't see anything.
by Cat 7/24/2011 12:07:18 AM

@Lilly specs would be very interesting short of that close ups with a "known" for reference might do? Like to understand the gauge of the frame metal and also looking at the joins and what not would be a give away, again that's an opinion from a backyard engineer! @Elaine agreed, as soon as I saw the picture of the frame under construction I thought geez are they stacking elephants on it.....no, but the frame would make the current Chernobyl entombment look like a drinking straw kids model imo! @All again just a reminder this is just my opinion but it just looks way too strong to just be a temporary cloth bearing frame!
by Thunder 7/24/2011 12:08:02 AM

@Cat is there a way to put in a request?
by lillymunster 7/24/2011 12:08:10 AM

@Thunder They are putting a tent type thing on chernobyl because the concrete in degrading
by lillymunster 7/24/2011 12:09:23 AM

@lillymunster. I don't know. It seems odd that their interest just stopped along with all the other media. I wonder if Google owns the satelite or if they buy the images from someone else.
by Cat 7/24/2011 12:13:20 AM

Doesn't seem to be any crane work going on this morning. They are just sitting idle.
by Cat 7/24/2011 12:14:33 AM

@Cat I think they use digital globe for those so they have to request them. If we could make a good enough case for historical or diagnostic significance Google might do it.
by lillymunster 7/24/2011 12:15:25 AM

The new cover at Chernobyl will be steel. Could they lay steel over the tent frames? en.wikipedia.org

LOL, WSJ quote when the tents were announced: gizmodo.com
by lillymunster 7/24/2011 12:19:01 AM

@lillymunster There are no need . PVC is sufficient. because the reactors are all in Cold Shut Dow and there are no Radiation spreading any more.... They are even planing to open a Casino on the Roof to bust the tourism

@Majj LMAO - you could sell ice to an eskimo! :-)

@Lilly on what blew out of three maybe some of SDF members that were there may have seen something? On the cover, just looking at the frame work makes me say yes, it may even be able to handle preform concrete panels???
@Majj LMFAO!!! But I think it will be a health resort.....like a radon hot spring!!!!:-)
by Thunder 7/24/2011 12:23:12 AM

Do a Google Image search for "TEPCO tents" or "Fukushima Tents" we are not the only group/people with a sense of humor. :-)

I think that framework if they can hang steel panels they could then use that as the outside of a concrete mold to cast walls.
by lillymunster 7/24/2011 12:24:46 AM

Inside the tents there will be a great Tepco-party

Edano.. a few years back Japan was trying to perfect underwater weld repairs in anticipation of aging related problems with reactor vessels and the attached piping
by dean 7/24/2011 12:33:34 AM

@dean : and yesterday we found documents from 1999 on how to exchange rpv in an 800 MW mark 1 containment. this has never been done before. i don't think this is coincidence. they knew they had problems.

@Puc @Puc They will be serving many "fluorescent cocktails" . Cesium Yellow , red plutonium , Green strontium .....

by dean 7/24/2011 12:36:47 AM

@Edano Oh, how were they going to swap out the RPV?
by lillymunster 7/24/2011 12:36:50 AM

swapping out a RPV is something similar to what the new GEN IV reactors should take into design,,,, I believe they are looking at something in that order
