Fascinating video. Amazing amount of waste storage. Has anyone graphed the growth of this facillity? It would be interesting to extrapolate the area required over the next 10, 20 years, etc. How radioactive is the stuff in these containers? How resiliant are they to further earthquakes and...

amusing that they have a hole in the "floats" to observe water level... surely if they are using floats, they would notice the floats dissapearing down a hole if the water lever were to fall?

Much more likely to be beams from structures on the harbourfront that were obliterated by the tsunami.

Has the strange shiny grey translucent stuff been discussed yet? I can't see how it can be smoke as it's definitely got a reflective property to it.

Two additional things to note from those images. The location of the steam appears heavily discoloured black (on the beam). This is visible on the later clip where no steam is venting. Secondly, on the side opposite the location of the red arrows, there is seemingly a void where the main floor...

Or. they;re just control rods... ? http://www.sciencephoto.com/images/download_lo_res.html?id=841700465"

Well they certainly aren't near the sfp. Do we have a schematic to overlay on this aerial photo? Maybe they're other elements used to space-out/organise the actual rods; ie benign?

Sorry if this subject has already been put to bed. I thought I'd use the latest hi-res images to locate the position of the suspected sf-rods from an earlier video. So, here they are. Any idea what the feature hi-lighted might be?

Looks to be to the side to me...

I think the blurriness is caused more by the fact the debris is slumped into the water. It definitely appears more of a blur than a fade although it could just be down to the low resolution of the images.

Reminds me of the blur effect in the Ringu films! Well spotted, it's a strange looking effect indeed. Unlikely to be steam as it's in the same form in all views shot at different times... Does it line up with the hotspot in the IR image released previously? /edit on quick inspection it does...

For clarity : the view here is the same orientation as the heli-cam, so the suggestion is that the pool at the bottom of the image is now empty, and partially open to the east side of the building? [PLAIN]http://i.min.us/jjU8wO.jpg

If that's the case, does that mean the void in front of the gate (ie closer to the camera) in that image is the SFP, which appears empty in the frames prior to your screengrab?

By that, do you mean it must be continuous fission?
