I never said it was ;) I tried to ignore the subject because my knowledge of how an image is formed on a sensor and it's path to becoming a RAW or JPG is quite limited. I do know that it is not caused by the cameras normal operation under normal operating conditions.

Yeah, I kind-of ignored that subject because those white dots are definitely an image artifact that I have never seen before. The color white comes when the bayer-filter registers all three color channels as fully saturated. The only artifact that comes close is hot pixels when shooting with...

There are many different kinds of things which cause fringing. There are optical defects that are present in the lens, different sensor types might cause fringing (e.g Blooming, which is only present in CCD sensors). The "fringin" on the highlights in the photo is with 99% certancy an...

As a photographer I can attest to this. Also, both digital cameras and the systems we use to view them have a hard time with the color red. You cannot analyze the color in a photograph unless you've taken it with very specialized equipment. We can see that it is red, but what shade is...

Heh, remember occams razor. What would normal red bricks be doing as construction material at a nuclear powerplant? Laying bricks is not exactly easy on labor.. And that would be the only small pile of bricks we've seen on the entire site. It's paint/dye/powder to mark the spot of high radiation.

Please not the scale of the temperature. Nothing is very hot.

That's Daiini, not Daiichi.

As stated many times previously in this thread the chernobyl reactor design has nothing in common with the one at fukushima. You cannot draw parallels between the two.

You did call this quite a while ago. Nice job there!

There are so many IFs to this that I'd rather you try to prove some of the ifs than anyone try to "debunk" this. 1) IF they were even using casks 2) IF that diagram is representable of fukushima 3) IF there is a pool at that location 4) IF that pool is used to loading spent fuel...

Lol what a cock-up. I wonder why they didn't first line the inside of the pit with some plastic or other flexible water-proof material and then pour gravel on it which would have slowed the leak down at least. On top of this they could have poured concrete which might have created a better...

This is actually quite worrying, though I don't see the boxes he is referring to.

Do remember that the waves first com in, then go out. The materials looking like they're blasted outwards were most likely dragged by the water as it rushed back out to sea.
