@UKVal They have a jackhammer on a boom. It might be that. The base of it?

@lillymunster -ah -that would make sense

An autopsy is either planned or has been done on the worker that died on the 9th. Ryuichi Kino cornered the TEPCO press guy at the last press conference about lying for 2 days about the worker's condition. This also brings up something else strange. The doctor at the plant worked on the guy for 2 hours before sending him to the hospital and he was DOA. The hospital called the police and arranged the autopsy.

The worker was in cardiac arrest right away from what earlier reports said so why where they working on him for 2 hours at TEPCO's medical office? The smells all sorts of suspicious.

Video description

Of the books written about nuclear technology through the years, Nukespeak is a classic. A new 30th anniversary edition of Nukespeak has just been published and co-author Rory O'Connor speaks about it. The new edition of Nukespeak has been updated -- with four new chapters -- and added to its title is: The Selling of Nuclear Technology from the Manhattan Project to Fukushima. It tells how nuclear promoters have been -- and continue -- using Orwellian language to try to hide the truth about the deadly dangers of nuclear technology.

Status of Inspection Work of the Main Turbine of Unit 4. <Inspected equipment> ○Low pressure turbine (A)【moving blade(whole),
stationary blade(upper half)】 ○High pressure turbine【moving blade(whole),
stationary blade(upper half)】 ○Bearing(fromHigh pressure turbine
to Low pressure turbine (A)
<Inspection periop> From Novenber 7, 2011 to January 11, 2012 <Outline of inspection result>
Although we found not only some cracks caused by normal operation but also some contact traces, which is located at moving and stationary blade of the low pressure turbine (A) and the high pressure turbine and oil thrower bearing, caused by the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake, we confirmed they are minimal damage and we made sure there was no security issues. www.tepco.co.jp

Reactor monitor failure caused by bad maintenance

The operator of a nuclear monitoring system covering Japan says the system malfunctioned last month because of poor maintenance.

A comment on Ex-SKF about the worker death TEPCO didn't disclose for 2 days. The person mentioned is TEPCO's PR guy

The first guy that died of a heart attack after heat stroke was kept at the plant for about 2 hours before being transported to the hospital. That is what caused the labor department to show up and make them improve conditions, add the clinic onsite etc. Hmmmmm
by lillymunster 1/13/2012 1:50:35 AM

From the previous worker death. A worker told German media that their dosimeters would error out if they got in an area of high contamination. So if this guy encountered something nasty high and his dosimeter errored out could it conceivably leave him with no record of the exposure?

by lillymunster 1/13/2012 2:56:57 AM

@lillymunster I think they've put 1 or possibly 2 hoses across. There's a lot of black dust. I wondered if they were trying to fix a cover & stuggling due to wind.
by UKVal 1/13/2012 2:58:55 AM

I'm at least glad to see something's going on at Unit 4, let's get that puppy fixed up and ready to evacuate the nuclear-waste pool, asap! :)

This much is known: The devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11 created a massive amount of debris, some of which was washed back into the ocean as the waters retreated. Prevailing currents are carrying that debris toward the United States. Bookmark and ShareShare

But when and where — if ever — it will wash ashore is still in question, and scientists are still tracking how much is floating toward the West Coast. www.mnn.com

The only thing I could find so far on unit 4. Another report is due out in a few hours

(at 1:30 pm on January 12, 2012, we started
the injection of hydrazine [corrosion inhibitor] in conjunction with the
cyclic cooling). www.tepco.co.jp

More on the dead worker:
by lillymunster 1/13/2012 3:20:01 AM

kinoryuichi 木野龙逸(Ryuichi Kino)
I take back the body is transported to the police immediately. TEPCO was aware that I do this piece, is waiting for answers. RT @ Exskf : @ Kinoryuichi who died of cardiopulmonary arrest while working at wiping, or eventually I turned to the coroner? When we arrived at the hospital is in every respect as was already dead.

@Ian Nukespeak is an awesome book. Thanks for the post. Glad to hear there is a new edition with new chapters!
by bo 1/13/2012 3:23:13 AM

@bo, yeah, that was a great interview! Very 'meta'. The author was spot-on on every statement he made. And Tepco in fact referred to each Unit's explosion in the way he noted they referred to the Unit-1 explosion, proving that it was not accidental incredible understand.

Nukespeak has been a guiding text for me in my career. Although O'Connor does seem to have had a tipple or two before the interview.

2 of the other worker deaths involved people who were working at the contaminated water or waste holding tank areas www.simplyinfo.org

Is it possible for some sort of beam or concentrated radiation occuring. Someone tried to claim there were neutron beams found again at the plant over new years.
