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.”

TEPCO webcam view, just tilt your screen back and look UP at the video feed. Pretty clear where the "coverup is". It is not a pretty picture as Reactor 1 is pumping out lots thru the roof vents..around the edges, the back-you name it. All the stacks show emissions of blue particles–all of them. And the sky as well. Just very unhealthy for all of us.
Reading about all the comments for "law suits"–there is not enough money in the world to pay for all the damage we are watching happen.

@ ChasAha I agree. Was watching it last night and was seeing the same as you describe. Definitely happens when the view is 'fogged' out and it radiates out in a slow pulsating motion. It coincides on both the ranch and TBScam views.
Has anyone seen any sign of workers working on the site recently, in the last few days? Surely it's way too dangerous now. Just saying ……………….

I have been wondering the same thing. I havent seen any crane movement lately.

Thanks Wotcha. It is odd. I have noticed through my screen shots that the 'bubble plumes' change shape.
This suggests to me we are seeing an atmospheric related phenomenon and not just camera weirdness.
If one pointed a cam toward any large 'plant' of any kind I am sure there would be some sort of 'heat' signature, but I think what we are witnessing is more than that.
The corresponding cam evidence and the pink fog glow is most likely not a good sign.

Blue flash at around 21:35 on Tepco webcam.
It was quite startling.
Is THAT normal???
I just happened to be cruising enenews and came to this forum. I don't usually watch the webcam.

Could it have been some kind of optical illusion from a shifting of the work light in the background?
An experienced webcam watcher will have to respond.
I could be wrong about the time. It might have been before 21:35, but not by much.
It took me a minute or two to decide if I had actually seen anything noteworthy enough to warrant a post to the forum.

@chasAha great capture and presentation! Bad "stuff" indeed. Bet your comments are getting TEPCO/JAPAN Government unhappy as the TBS screen is now blacked out. And look at the TEPCO faked webcam view to the far left of the screen past Reactor 1–an area of emissions/steam. The areas showing GREEN in your enhanced video show emissions from the ground IN FRONT of Fukushima 1 — probably the same on the seaside of the facility as well. Or worse.
Report Comment
Great captures ChasAha. I was wondering how you get the enhanced image? It certainly shows up what I have seen on the Hope Cam image when I put it on full screen and then tilt my laptop screen. From the looks of things, I think this stuff is coming up mainly from R2 which we know has overheated and has high radiation. The emissions can be seen in the Tepcam view – look above the roof of R2.
There's not much to be seen in the TBS view lately (mostly grey) and they have zoomed out on the usual view of R4. Looks to be very flattened up top now though – ready to construct the new building part to cover it over, then eventually try to take the fuel out? The work must be very much slowed down with all this radiation around, if they can do any at all
The whole thing saddens and upsets me greatly. The lies, corruption and coverups abounding in the nuclear industry perpetuate. Humanity v greed ……………..
Report Comment
TEPCO Webcam shows FAKE rails–and emissions are rising from the area to the LEFT of Reactor 1 and probably out of the seafloor area. That is where TEPCO put cement barriers earlier in the year. The photoshopped black rails, both in front of Reactor 1, are really funny to see..if it was not so tragic. What a farce! When I upload the captured photo, will post it.
Hey, MR. TEPCOman–do you need lessons in realistic modeling? Those stark black lines need to be blurred to reflect the distance to the eye. And to LOOK real. Just saying…

Gotcha Wotcha. Hope Cam #2 *see below
The 'enhanced' image, that's what I call it, is created using Microsoft Photo Editor's Effects option. I select 'Posterize' and then I select 3,4,5,6 bit for the colors. (Usually 4 or 5) This is what gives it the multiple layers. I am not a graphics professional. I just know that it senses the subtle differences and highlights them. Sometimes a brightness adjust too. I will also use the Paint program to add a highlight circle. That's it.
I try to get a screen shot with a bird or birds in it so it's easy to compare to the original.

The concerns over the spent fuel pools are centered on reactors NOs 4, 5, and 6—all of which were offline Friday when the mammoth quake hit Japan.
But the situation at one of those offline reactors, no 4 became dire on Tuesday [Mar 15] when spent fuel heated up and generated hydrogen that led to a fire according to government officials. The fire was extinguished in a few hours…”

Nukelchen's lightning rods dont work at fukushima…demonstrated something a lot of boaters know about- higher structures get hit more. So the vents/stacks are higher. BUT we personally learned IONIZED air draws lightning strikes. So the fact the lightening forms around the stacks..and is seen the air over Fukushima seems to point to ionized particle. Now a lot of very very smart people are here..and likely I am totally off base with ionizied particles..but it sure seems to be related. We have proof..the damage..each time we use a commercial air ionzier to remove diesel smells from a boat with a spill inside….

@Wotcha Pretty bad coverup! And now..Dawn is arriving..and the fog is lifting..they really need to check out their physics manuals.

Someone earlier mentioned that they might be attemping boron injections.
What I thought I saw.. on 6/23 was an interaction between the activity at 4 and emissions between two and three.
At 2:42..the second Wotcha's link above..a roll of emissions can be seen going from left to right between 2 and 3.
This is the "whack-a-mole" theory.
The other reactors emit increased emissions as well..

from: 2012.07.09_17.51–18.51(TBS_JNN)
I captured the white flash frame and ran a filter. Saw nothing.

We should check the Tepco Cam at the same time as the TBS/jnn one. If it's from the sky or nearby that one should also pick it up. (?)

start watching this tbs/jnn vid from earlier at about 1:30 in .. at 1:43 R4 near blinding flash… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc4B1fjNnss&feature=context-chv I still can't believe Tepco and the nuclear nutters club are getting away with this crime and as far as I'm aware not one person has been arrested or charged with negligence let alone mass murder.(sigh)

This flash glow is startling. However, I believe this one is a day/night camera adjustment. Happens at sunset and sunrise.
It does not show, at matched times, on the TEPCO Web Cam either.

TEPCO webcam shows a few missing items–the stacks/vents and reactor 4. Now, it could be "FOG"..but take a good look..pretty blank area there around Reactor 4..not even cranes. Ideas..other views would be good!

Jec@, I think they overwork the upper part of the screen with their programming. The resolution at the bottom is a lot better. The sky consists of too large squares and rectangles of the same colour and thy just eat up the bordering objects. Lame work!

No, I am wrong. They equalize and randomize the grey tones everywhere. And the smoke is still there.

FukuSneezium again – time stamp 03.51 JST. All too familiar now
I've been out all day and just got back in – have I missed anything or just same old, same old?

I was trying to answer wotcha and I'm glad to see the thread is pumping up. It's a slow motion apocalyptic fog. This Japanese morning a missing hour 02:00-03:00. I see a change of colour where you point at Wotcha at 03:51 tepsham time.
4 to 5 while hearing the birdies on TBS/JNN which is boringly bluegrey, well, naught is visible beyond the lamp post. An orange thingy (great description sickputer!) at the bottom amid the overgrowth. Much weeding needed. They should take care of it too but they've got much on their (shortage of) hands and I prayse (sic)for those courageous workers on site.
Remember the time when workers would come and go on this catwalk daily? And the guy pointing his finger for a very long time at the camera? By the way, the plants are different from last year. Here is a proud birdy holding the turf.

Oh and one last weird thing here. A wing?

I kept my little self pretty busy with this lousy 4-5 hour. No half-life. Full life!

@jec Yep, it's been bad there early morning so hardly surprising an hour's timelapse is missing
Meanwhile back at the TBScam,it just looks like white smoke blowing across from east to west. We are seeing more and more of these 'steam/smoke' events, probably corium going deeper down, rather than what we used to see i.e. lights/fires on the ground areas, especially near R3/4.
Poor little birdie though. It probably won't last long near that 'stuff'. As for the 'wing', I was wondering if it was an insect on the lens?
I just saw a smallish crane scuttling along behind R1, so the workers are still around and busy……… BTW, do you have any idea what the yellow/white lights are on the TBScam view at night. The lefthand yellow dome shaped thing looks to be quite bright so busy doing something, I know not what. My imagination runs riot at wondering what they might be doing.

The TBS yellowish light over R3/4..they are getting ready to put in a robot..and the 8 people who will only get 8 mSV of radiation while doing the task. 8 mSv of radiation or 8 yrs worth of exposure (1 Millisievert a year is the max for nuclear workers) in X minutes of work…??? . Wish I could believe that..

Starting after 7/11 1AM there is a huge plume coming from, what looks like R2 on fuku1live. Could be R3 or a sneaky R4 steam event, not sure. What I don't understand is 'why' R1 and R2 are so hot they can't be capped off now? Is there nothing to pour in to chill out the corium gases? Recently there is a lot of steam, clouds, or fog, moving fast, from left to right, in front/ back of the reactors, and parallel to the coast. Are these active steam events like we've seen so many times? Does anyone know the current status of R5/ R6? Every time I see these faster than fog 'steam' clouds or plumes, I count 3 days to the West Coast, depending on the jet stream. Tepco owes the world good coverage of this plant. We don't need to over focus on R4 (TBC cam) when the rest of the plant is subsiding, gushing rad water, or blowing off radioactive steam (fuku1live). Give us some decent HD cameras Tepco!

Forgot to say that the 'Kibouno Bokujyou' cam shows a lot of light dispersion through particulate – major, today. Thank you 'K.B.'!

TECPO has FOG again– so something is occurring. I guess a few comments about the sea level "venting" of steam, the "plumes" and comments on Reactor 5 and 6 –did it. Someone is reading and reacting to our comments for sure. Also, this AM with careful observation or comparing older screen shots, you can see a slow subsidence of the reactor buildings from Reactor 1 to Reactor 4 –guess thats in a south direction? And towards the sea…
Last night observed a 'plume' which was coming up BETWEEN Reactor 1 and Reactor 2. Believe its what increases the plume seen on the seaward side of Reactor 2. Seems to come out of the HOT area near the black rail fencing at the corner of Reactor 1 and between the reactors and the vent stacks. That area also shows orange, blue/green "steam" coming out of the ground there. SO….keep an eye out!
NONE of these Reactors are safe, and now more fuel rods found "damaged" at another reactor. Good news..its not a TEPCO owned reactor. Bad news –its not within the Fukushima area–so problems in other areas of N. Japan. Wonder if that is the location of the unusual plume of radation after 3/11. We all wondered HOW the radiation occurred when the winds were not in the correct direction for contaminiation there.

@nukelchen Look at the area in front of Reactor 1, 07112012 06:31 JST (on timestamp). The area just showing above the white rail between R1 and R2..and in the darker "fog" area of the TECPO camera lense "filter). Almost looks like a triangle or roof on the ground (its the HOT spot with 10 sievers/hr from last year).That clump looks like its bubbling up with something –emissions? and making a plume. Plus all around Reactor 1 shows colors of pink/purple behind the "fog" bank. What do others here think? Its nothing extremely new–but its a bit more..and the fog technique of the past days is very very different.

Several bad radioactive fog from Fuku1 feeds in the last 6 hours:

What's that yellow colored object on the catwalk? Looks like a flower or Baby Godzilla's headband. At any rate the overgrowth on the catwalk shows humans are not walking on it much. The whole place looks like a ghost town, but then what else is new?
These disappearing buildings days are becoming more frequent…something bad is spewing at Daiichi.

Lots of swirling emissions (see about 25 seconds in)

I don't care if you call it fog/steam/clouds/convection/emissions/smoke
…doesn't matter…the stuff is moving across radioactive contaminated land, traveling over radiation-contaminated ocean water and thus it is radioactive…and some emissions are far worse than others.
It must be very unsettling to be one of the brave workers at Fukushima…I wish we could get substantive interviews with them.

"I wish we could get substantive interviews with them." They probably don't live long enough. Also, with all the companies running out of workers for Fukushima..Isnt it a MIRACLE no one is sick or injured? One would expect SOME problem illnesses from just the de-construction work or manual labor..or radiation…….Just Saying..
