@lilly. the other day I thought I was seeing some sort of columns next to #4.... maybe that was just me, have you seen anything like that? I thought they were clearing debris around #4

This is the chart with i-131 showing up on it dated December. I need to try to translate more of it and see what it means

@dean how long ago? Was it on TBS or TEPCO?
by lillymunster 1/6/2012 11:06:18 PM

was on the cam and I think tepco

@dean they cleared off Unit 4 building rubble by the SFP but that was a while ago. They were inspecting after new years because the pool skimmer was leaking water. It might have had to do with that?

@dean the weird red stuff?
by lillymunster 1/6/2012 11:14:11 PM

I'm not seeing anything odd on TBS?
by lillymunster 1/6/2012 11:14:56 PM

on that link.. I clicked on the TBS/JNN cam which is from a different angle
by dean 1/6/2012 11:18:05 PM

@dean what did you see?
by lillymunster 1/6/2012 11:21:17 PM

on the TBS/JNN, just right of the middle exhaust stack there were shiny column looking things... I hadn't seen the cam for awhile and thought wow maybe they are beginning to prepare it for a covering

Unit 3 seawater contamination suddenly triples:
The Unit 3 intake levels more than three times
January 06, 14:19 minutes
Near the intake of Unit 3 and Unit 2 nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi Tokyo Electric Power Co., 5 days, the concentration of radioactive materials contained in sea water was collected in Unit 2, but there was no significant change in the Unit 3 before rose to more than three times the day.
Around the nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi, the collected water TEPCO such as near the intake of Unit 3 and Unit 2 was detected radioactive material in a high concentration of water in May and April last year, the measurement of radioactive material We do. 5 days, from seawater collected near the Unit 2 intake, 0.12 becquerels of cesium twice the national standard of 134 per 1cc, was found 1.7 times the 0.15 becquerels of cesium 137. In addition, Unit 3 intake around 0.76 becquerels of cesium-134 13 times the reference was found 11 times 0.96 becquerels of cesium-137. Unit 2 near the intake, but there was no significant change in concentration in the vicinity of the No. 3 intake is more than three times the concentration of the previous day. Meanwhile, five days and four days, a survey conducted in 10 locations coast and offshore combined, including approximately 330 m south near the outlet of Unit 4 from Unit 1 of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, two locations in coastal Radioactive cesium has been detected in significantly lower than any standard.

@dean oh I think it is the sun shining on the stripped out columns of 3. Looks like they might have cleared off some rubble and the roof frame on 3?
by lillymunster 1/6/2012 11:24:39 PM

yes
by dean 1/6/2012 11:24:55 PM

@lilly, I need to be away for awhile.. I'm so glad you were here to catch me up some... be safe
by dean 1/6/2012 11:25:23 PM

@dean good to see you back for a bit.

oh, dean was here :)

#1 had some drywell pressure fluctuations lately. maybe due to nitrogen injection adjustment, maybe due to drilling ? from this point of view, i would make the guess that they may be drilling #1.


www.houseoffoust.com
#1 drywell radiation has stabilized to about 7 Sv/hr now. no spikes anymore. #2 has 7 Sv/hr as well, while #3 is lower with ~3 Sv/hr. www.houseoffoust.com

i think the drilling under #2 could cause a higher water pollution if the corium is out. they need cooling water to do the drilling and it will surely leak into the sea.
by Edano 1/7/2012 1:02:33 AM

i think the equipment (robots) they will send in there is just for one use. no return.
by Edano 1/7/2012 1:06:26 AM

well, in relation to the 512 Sv/hr in september, the situation in #1 is a paradise now. :)

... for cucarachas at least :)

The plan for drilling into unit 2 containment involves a drilling rig & the camera with a long scope on it. They are supposed to go in the back sea side door and in that hallway that goes around the ground floor. There is a containment door in that back area. They are drilling in somewhere around there.
I don't know if they are going to set it up and run it remotely or have workers inside the building. I can't remember what the rad levels are like in unit 2 inside ground level??
Sea side door being the area between the turbine buildings and reactor buildings.

WOOT! found the Tomioka live webcam

Looking at the shadows cast this morning in Tomioka I am guessing the trucks were rushing to Daiichi.

Radiation level in front of rail station monument statue to Hachiko. Lots of foot traffic, people use it as a meeting place:
Yesterday, the street sign in front of Hachiko in Shibuya Temashita do. Came out when I saw 0.22μSv / H is measured on a desk machine was appalled. People come and go without knowing that such a scramble crossing,,,. @ Secchinn : "too much trouble!" What is it but some people say I, I'll know. Out more information!
