Okey dokey the politics is getting way off topic. This board is for technical information related to the nuclear disaster. Off topic should go over to the organize board.

@wrshpr no worries.
by lillymunster 9/20/2011 9:50:48 PM

those original pics are proving elusive, are they all new in the doc or just oldies with new diagrams
by elainekirk 9/20/2011 9:58:02 PM

@elainekirk Some photos are reused, some I don't recognize. We can check Cryptome in a day or two they seem to find them even if TEPCO doesn't post them.

Typhoon Roke brings downpours
A very strong typhoon is approaching western Japan, bringing downpours and increasing the risk of mudslides and river flooding.
The Meteorological Agency says that as of 6 AM on Wednesday, Typhoon Roke was moving in a northeasterly direction at 30 kilometers per hour over waters to the south of Wakayama Prefecture.
Parts of western and central Japan were hit by downpours of 40 to 50 millimeters per hour. Over 450 millimeters of rain fell in some areas in one day.
Forecasters say the typhoon will gradually pick up speed and make landfall in western or eastern Japan on Wednesday.

@Edano tepco management will be dancing with joy I wonder how much radioactive water is going to disappear from the site into our oceans

this is the first depression that will hit the plants directly. scary, scary.
by Edano 9/20/2011 10:39:02 PM

@Edano it is the workers I worry about the conditions will be terrible and the mask filters would I imagine be severely compromised in such wet conditionsnot to mention the clothing

do i see smoke on teppycam ?
by Edano 9/20/2011 10:46:39 PM

@Edano ooo
by elainekirk 9/20/2011 10:50:29 PM

@Edano ?? not sure. I don't see anything moving but some odd dark areas.
by lillymunster 9/20/2011 10:52:07 PM

@Edano @auditek has posted a 5 quake there an hour ago could have stirred things up
by elainekirk 9/20/2011 10:52:30 PM

@lillymunster @elainekirk now it's nearly gone, but there was a long dark cloud rising from common pool.

we have to be careful. the "smoke" was raindrops on the lense. (around 2:00)

@Ian the chart is a meti release, we often used it here.
by Edano 9/20/2011 11:27:55 PM

it shows the emissions in the first days of the disaster.
by Edano 9/20/2011 11:28:33 PM

@Ian it is estimated and the right column is the total release from all 3 reactors. i have seen the original pdf, but i don't have it at hand.
by Edano 9/20/2011 11:31:01 PM

ah, i found it:
www.meti.go.jp page 13
by Edano 9/20/2011 11:38:46 PM

@Ian : ok it is estimated. the title says: 表5 解析で対象とした期間での大気中への放射性物質の放出量の試算値(Bq) "Table 5 Estimated amount of radioactive material released into the atmosphere over the time period covered by the analysis (Bq)"
the subtitle is: ※:表4で示す各ケースのうち、実態の1号機では感度解析ケース2、2号機では事業者解析ケース2、3号機では事業者解析ケース2 "※: one for each case shown in Table 4, the real No. 1 is No. cases No. cases 2,3 2,2 Analysis Sensitivity analysis is an analysis of operator business case 2"

@Vivre ty so glad you were able to find all that thany

the first lines are:
東京電力株式会社福島第一原子力発電所の事故に係る1号機、
2号機及び3号機の炉心の状態に関する評価について
平成23年6月6日
原子力安全・保安院
1.経緯
原子力安全・保安院は、平成23年4月25日付文書をもって、東京電力に対し、核原料物質、核燃料物質及び原子炉の規制に関する法律第67条第1項に基づき、東京電力福島第一原子力発電所の事故に係る運転記録及び事故記録に関する報告を命じたところ、東京電力から5月16日付で中央操作室等から回収した記録等の報告があった。
原子力安全・保安院(以下「保安院」という。)は、当該報告を踏まえ、5月16日付文書をもって、東北地方太平洋沖地震発生前後の記録の分析結果を踏まえた原子炉施設の安全性への影響の評価結果についての報告を東京電力に指示したところ、5月23日付で評価結果の報告があった。
保安院は、当該報告を踏まえ、5月24日、5月23日付報告に関する留意点及び保安院の評価を示すとともに、炉心の状態に関する解析評価については、保安院としての評価に時間を要することから、評価が終了次第、とりまとめることとした。
2.東京電力の評価の概要
5月16日付で提出された地震発生直前からの運転データ、警報、
"No. 1 according to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident Tokyo Electric Power Company,
Assessment about the state of the core Unit 2 and Unit 3
June 06, 2011
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency
1. Circumstances
Nuclear Safety Agency, with a document dated 25 April 2011, for TEPCO nuclear source material, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 67 of the Act on Regulation of Nuclear Fuel Material and Reactors, Tokyo Electric Power Co. Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear I ordered a report on driving records and accident records pertaining to power plant accident, were reported as recovered from such record date, May 16, the central control room from TEPCO.
Nuclear Safety Agency (the "NISA" it.), Considering the said report, with a document dated 16 May, the safety of nuclear facilities based on the analysis of the records before and after the earthquake off the northeastern Pacific Ocean TEPCO was instructed to report on the results of the evaluation of the impact of the evaluation results were reported in the May 23 date.
NISA, considering the said report, May 24, along with the show and NISA evaluation considerations, May 23, the date reported for the analysis and evaluation on the state of the reactor core, as it takes time to evaluate the NISA from, upon completion of the evaluation, it was put together.
2. Overview of the evaluation of TEPCO
Operating data from the earthquake just before they are submitted in May 16, bell, or at the time of the transient behavior of the plant, and equipment operating conditions, etc. Based on the data that is obtained an objective record, severe accident analysis code assess the status of the plant is using MAAP. The results are as follows."

Fukushima victims lobby against nuclear power in US

@Ian yes, it's an important document and it has been quoted several times here. i will pin it, so i don't have to do another search.
by Edano 9/21/2011 12:12:55 AM

@Ian I wonder if it has something to do with Ted Turner? He turned anti-nuke after he married Jane Fonda and is involved in some anti-nuclear group. So corporate ownership could have something to do with CNN being more open about what is going on?
