The previous Fukushima Webcam Discussion Thread can be found here: http://enenews.com/fukushima-webcam-discussion-thread
This thread is for discussing matters related to the webcam(s) at Fukushima Daiichi.
UPDATE (via Nuckelchen): “Please note the ‘jst’ time of your observation. Also, describe as best as possible, what you see. Using North, South, East, and West to describe locations. Be specific whenever possible. This may sometimes be the ONLY record we have of such events.”

More shaking, seems to stir things up, especially at R3.
Also seeing a light-flash or reflection just behind the bright spot on the upper left (closest corner) on R3. I've seen this before, but not as bright and not as consistent.

Yes, five of the past 20 hours of Fuku1 Live high speed 20x time lapse video clips (3 seconds is a minute of high speed video) have been 8 or 9 seconds instead of the normal 180 second clip.
Tepco censoring 57 minutes of those one hour clips. Whatcha hiding Tepkill?
One of these days they are going to have one of their trip events and they are going to get smoked! Maybe already has happened. But somebody is going to tattle on them eventually.
If there is a hell on earth its name is Fukushima Daiichi.

Edit: field "trips" for journalists and/or dignitaries. I imagine the NRC and Tepco holds their breath every time a bigshot bunch arrives for a quick howdy-doo. I am sure they overwater the "lawn" on those days.

I have noticed that effect before. Speeding up the video makes it more obvious. Some of it may be caused by radiation directly hitting the camera, but I think most of it is from rising heat waves that cause light to refract. Guess where all the heat is coming from.

You're the maestro Nuck! Great video.
Lots of smoke…not good. The plume around the world just got s fresh recharge. Bioaccumulation is building everywhere. Chernobyl burned for 10 days… Fukushima is at 586 days and continues to experience heavy burning days. I estimate 10% have been heavy burning days…six times as many heavy days compared to Chernobyl and Fukushima has ten times the amount of nuclear fuel..

Stunning job Nucky, WOW! Without further ado, we have more trouble on the way. The 'nieds4MAP' up/down motion sensors are ALIVE tonight-
One quake 4.5 mag just happened. The entire section under Tokyo lit up like a Christmas tree, making me very nervous about another quake (see inset for latest quake location). The sound is rather scary when the bells go off-
First there is a lot of blue 'down' movement and then, bam, a section suddenly springs up yellows and oranges. Whew. I even imagined I saw a squiggly 'S' wave, LOL.
Figure this rad 'stuff' is in the jet stream with help from the recent tropical storms. By the 20th this might be hitting the West Coast. Not only that but we have solar particles incoming in the same time frame.

10-11am TEPCO time, Unit #4 almost disappears in a veil of smoke. Without depth-vision impossible to tell how close to the reactor the smoke is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cYuh7FTbL4
Near the beginning the workers are bizzaredly lifted WAY above the reactor and the smoke (Getting a better look? Escaping possible radiation?).
All the while frantic construction seems to continue over Unit #4 though, so apparently they didn't think it so unusual. Thought it was interesting and noteworthy for comparison, though…

Hi all (from South Australia.) Been watching since start in 3/11
You can see cranes removing what looked like wreckage from in front of R2 on TBS/JNN 16th Oct 06.43-07.43 and 07.43-08.43.
I'd been trying to work out what it was since it appeared suddenly – soon after there was a huge steam blowout from the side of R2 visible in our old Tepco view. The tree like bit still there to the left seemed new then too.

Shadow on Reactor 2 has quite a history. Some smoke sometimes, getting bigger, smaller, having cranes working back and forth. So its an area of interest for our TEPCOese folks. And us I believe.
