Which part of, Is subject to interpretation? Do read up on the preceding discussion to that point. You need a ruler? I would rather be shorting US treasury bonds, since Japan is about to unload some, than to educate a forum full of people like Fred, which engage in fraud: And...

The Twelfth hour cometh: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/fukushima-np/f1/images/f1-sv-20110423-e.pdf I've seen the prototype of this map weeks ago. Do continue your discussion of ventilation shafts of secondary containment of Unit 4, while the personnel at the plant gets irradiated to the...

[/PLAIN] The pool runs the whole length and does cover the damaged area, and it just shows how much you know, or pretend to know. Thank you all for your side of the perspective, I will now return to the real world. Artax, There's been a documented INES Level 3 at Fukushima Dai-ni on...

I haven't read physicsforums during this three-week period, instead I was in a company of Russian nuclear engineers & Chernobyl liquidators, and you better take my word for it, when I say that they are still scarred by the accident of April, 1986 and wouldn't want the events that I've mentioned...

Find the blueprint original by GE for this Mk., on the Section B-B, West facing you see that the SFP is in the S-SE corner of the containment buildings. The Southerly hole corresponds to the exact location of SNF assemblies, and it's confirmed via both: footage and thermal imagery. I don't...

Is trolling allowed on this forum? Facing South, Facing NE, [PLAIN]http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/full/2011/03/23/77344-efforts-to-spray-water-into-the-no-4-reactor-at-the-fukushima-daiichi-.jpg On topic: In the Areva report you have 7 hours in Reactors 2 & 3 without...

Thanks, is that above the designed limit for this Mk I type of BWR reactors? A sudden increase in pressure could render events observed. Pressure readings in both RPV and dry well at 1 atm tells you the story, that I've told you before. :) Must read new report from Areva dated April 7th -...

Racer, The height of the gas vent towers is 130 metres. There 3 are distinct pieces of debris seen emerging from the vertical dust cloud, they could be either: FHM, PCV dome, concrete DW plug, reactor lid itself. The SFP is not the cause of the explosion, there may have been hydrogen in the...

Then the paint has peeled off during the steam build up/explosion from SNP of number 4. And yes, those are fuel assemblies (what's left of them) that can be seen from the footage with the camera strapped to the concrete pump. I'll check my archive to bring you the construction of Fukushima...

Indeed, but how long is the fuel going to last, batteries next? With destroyed electric grid in several prefectures (downed pylons, blown transformers) they are in a race against time with Higashidori NPP, possibly Onagawa's SNPs (reactors in cold shutdown as of March 11th). Pink is the...

The image Fred is showing looks like the lid of the RPV, you may want to compare it against early thermal imagery. ;)

Greetings everyone. Here's the EQ information: http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/; http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html & http://geofon.gfz-potsdam.de/eqinfo/list.php And this is a result of a FOIA to NRC...
