time for me to go to gym... will return
by dean 10/1/2011 2:10:49 PM
@elainekirk wow. looks like high rad debris. i would like to know what is written on the green labels...
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:11:32 PM
one thing we must consider,,, I wonder how much rain fall has been measured since the accident, probably a large amount and that is all "uncontrolled" water feed into the reactor and surrounding areas and potentially a source of water that eventually reaches the corium
by dean 10/1/2011 2:12:31 PM
@elainekirk They have it blocked off with those barriers to the right. It looks like something nasty. Is there a date or a title with the photo?
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 2:13:22 PM
the debris seems to have sort of wheels. what are we missing from #3 ???
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:14:48 PM
nearly looks like a big squeezed "buggy" for children.
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:16:50 PM
@Edano I wish they had a larger version of that picture!. What would be purple?
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 2:16:53 PM
@Edano yes. The purple is throwing me. Almost looks like a couple of industrial wheels or round black objects and maybe something cast aluminum plus the steamy bit.
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 2:17:52 PM
and a yellow "sticky" on a plastic tank.
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:18:42 PM
many wheels in different sizes. parts of a crane ?
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:20:01 PM
be back later
by dean 10/1/2011 2:20:52 PM
there's a black pipe looking like the handle of an umbrella.
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:21:40 PM
be back later
by Edano 10/1/2011 2:22:53 PM
@lillymunster it is from todays photo dump on the Japanese site this is the translate of the link
Grass-week vicinities (dust operating conditions)
(as of late September, summarized 23 years of shadow)

@Ian Judging by the tree line and outbuilding behind the trees it is at least outside of the "bowl" area the reactors sit in.
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 2:32:37 PM
@elainekirk Hrm. Steaming chunk in the grass away from the reactors 6+ months later. That really IS odd. They have it blocked off so it must be emitting rads
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 2:33:31 PM
Off to the farmers market!
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 2:59:30 PM
the photo dump has now published on the English site
www.tepco.co.jpby elainekirk 10/1/2011 5:20:59 PM
@Ian past latitude/longitude.
by Edano 10/1/2011 6:25:17 PM
37°25′17″N 141°1′57″E that works in google earth
by elainekirk 10/1/2011 7:06:56 PM
hmm looks different. no diagonal stripes.
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:22:00 PM
@Edano I am spinning all over here I am determined to find the spot having great fun
by elainekirk 10/1/2011 7:33:02 PM
@elainekirk i have not found it. :(
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:33:49 PM
back for a bit
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 7:33:53 PM
@Ian Ian there are some really high spots in Gunma. Let me go dig up the map etc. It is somewhere in the group website
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 7:34:59 PM
Here with map and links to govt. source
houseoffoust.comGunma radiation
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 7:35:27 PM
@lillymunster the map is nearly the same.
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:36:36 PM
@Edano jumping in part way though the conversation. Thought looking for radiation levels in Gunma?
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 7:37:09 PM
@lillymunster yesyes, there is a similar map below, 13 posts down. :)
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:38:34 PM
Ah, they just edited it differently. Does look like the same map with Chiba half cut off.
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 7:39:20 PM
The one vivre posted is what I was looking for this morning
by lillymunster 10/1/2011 7:39:53 PM
"The highest levels in Gunma were 300,000 becquerels per square meter. The evacuation level at Chernobyl was 37,000 becquerels."
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:40:02 PM
i find it somewhat suprising that the contamination is so high south west of fuku. looks even worse than north.
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:41:27 PM
so they did not measure radiation in niigata and nagano ? :(
by Edano 10/1/2011 7:42:33 PM
@Edano, but 370,000 =/= 5,200,000. Remember the output of Fuku was doubled by NISA, but I think it still wont beat Chernobyl. "770,000 terabecquerels from March 11 to March 16, the first five days after the accident." articles.cnn.comby Ian 10/1/2011 2:11:39 PM
