@Mid Valley it is a bit of relief to see something finally happening to fight back

Drat - the original report keeps coming up as gibberish.
by lillymunster 10/30/2011 4:51:37 PM

@lillymunster to change the University report to Japanese you must change the Encoding, 'in Safari and Firefox it is under 'View' in toolbar. Select Text Encoding, change to 'Japanese (shift JIS)
by MaryW 10/30/2011 4:53:21 PM

@lillymunster I cannot post the link of this report because it has a Japanese symbol in it that is not on english keyboard. I could email the report to you if need be.
by MaryW 10/30/2011 4:57:33 PM

It is the same report Elaine found earlier. Someone in the comments said it is an encoding issue and someone with a Euro version operating system should be able to view it using the character options. So if any of our EU people can pull up the page and run it through google translate to put it into a roman character language so we can handle it.

Never mind I just got it. Working on a functioning translation right now

Translation:

Have a higher probability of a magnitude 9 earthquake once again

To announce the growing possibility of M9 earthquakes seismic waves echo back from the observed VHF. Echo began to be observed in seismic stations Erimo channels from 89.9MHz June 27, 2010 date back about 8 months before the earthquake off the coast of the northeastern Pacific Ocean on March 11, 2011. This frequency echoes from seismic monitoring stations Nakashibetsu several other stations in the station's frequency is Nakashibetsu eastern Hokkaido was not confirmed that. The same frequency Kuzumaki station, 種市, Wajima, a small echo amplitude and Kobe earthquakes are located (-100 ~-110dB-up 3 4dB) from the station or not any audio signal is unknown, considered a strong possibility of the Tohoku region Kuzumaki and probably 種市. This earthquake lasted eight months and echoes, in January 2011 occurred M9.0 foreshock of M7.3 occurred the day after the July 3 finally weakened. That the M7.3 foreshock has revealed that very small group in the b value of 0.5 aftershocks that follow. However, M9 has occurred during the verification process. The total duration of the echo of the earthquake may have more than 200,000 minutes past the M8. Daily is shown in Figure echo duration from 01 earthquakes in January 2010. The horizontal axis of the month from 01 January 2010, the vertical axis of the echo duration earthquakes per day (minutes). After an M9.0, earthquake activity is a weak echo, and begin to revitalize the M7.0 earthquake occurred around Iwaki. We follow the course very similar to the situation observed in the second half of last year and now. The total duration of the echo to reach the earthquake reached 160,000 minutes. If you follow the same course as before the earthquake of March 11, if this still is estimated that the M9 class earthquake occurs again. Would be considered near the epicenter off the coast of southern Japan Trench off the southern part of Miyagi Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture. If it is a normal fault focal mechanisms is also considered a potential giant tsunami tsunami amplitude of fluctuations is greater vertical ocean crust. Generation time is probably spent in January from December 2012, just from the expected weakening of the seismic echo is probably difficult to pinpoint. Natural phenomena that trigger the occurrence of foreshocks and earthquake is also important to monitor the storm and tidal observations, such as words. Do not continue to go missing observations of VHF echoes the future earthquake, we will be updating as often as possible.

I will get this posted to the website for easier sharing.

enformable.com @lilly.. stopping by for a min.. here is one of the articles on crane accident
by dean 10/30/2011 5:30:53 PM

remember early on a crane worker was killed.. they have problems with cranes..

the whacky sites have picked up on the quake story trying to find it from an informed source it seems it was only released yesterday so may have to wait
by elainekirk 10/30/2011 6:01:05 PM

yesterday elaine posted a photo by tepco, it was undertitled: "collapsed crane". i hesitated a moment, then i thought they meant "disassembled", not "collapsed", but maybe collapsed was correct ?

Monju chief says fast breeder reactor project to shift focus

TOKYO, Oct. 30, Kyodo

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency, which runs the trouble-hit Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor in Fukui Prefecture, will shift the project's focus on research from the current goal of generating power with a fast breeder reactor, its president has indicated.

In a recent interview with Kyodo News, JAEA President Atsuyuki Suzuki said the plan to build a demonstration fast breeder reactor and subsequently a commercial one after Monju ''will find it hard to be understood by the public.''

''It would benefit not only Japan but the world that it (Monju) will be used as a reactor for trying various new technologies,'' Suzuki said, reacting to growing calls in Japan for decommissioning Monju, which is already shut down due to a series of troubles. english.kyodonews.jp

The earthquake story that is going around. We have a direct translation now. It is a bit hard to read, may make more sense to someone with experience in seismic data. It seemed to say what the other sites said, they think it could be building up to another quake.

still high rad in control room #3. some of the other plots show slight abnormalities since around oct. 28. e.g pressure in #1 rising, in #2 falling... nothing really extraordinary, but it's odd.

Fukushima pollution much larger says French report

French researchers say the amount of radioactive cesium that has leaked from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean is 20 times larger than the plant operator estimated.

The French government's nuclear research institute, IRSN, released its contamination report on Saturday.

It calculates that 27.1 thousand terabecquerels of radioactive cesium 137 had leaked into the ocean as of the middle of July. The largest amount was released by early April from a pit at the Number 2 reactor and other plant facilities.

The French institute says the amount is about 20 times the estimate made by Tokyo Electric Power Company.

The report says the nuclear accident caused significant water contamination, but radioactive substances will be dispersed by ocean currents.

Nevertheless, the institute is calling for ongoing testing of marine products as leakage from the nuclear facility continues to pollute the nearby ocean.

@ Edano.. I wonder.. "put the cover over #1 and now the pressure is rising".. hmmmm
by dean 10/30/2011 7:05:05 PM

@dean yeah, maybe this explains it, but how much pressure does the cover stand ?
by Edano 10/30/2011 7:08:16 PM

could it be falling in 2 if the corium is moving maybe in the direction of #3 control room?
by elainekirk 10/30/2011 7:10:02 PM

@Edano, very minimal besides I thought they had ventilation and hydrogen monitoring.. however, having said that I wouldn't be surprised at this point
