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.”

Is that black smoke coming from #4? – I'm not familiar with the tepcam view.

Wotcha …your first link tbs/jnn cam..scary or wot!. How terrible the thought of the poor workers who are having to work in that hell hole from hell…(sigh) The black smoke at first appears to be coming from the left maybe R5/6..In ChasAha,s link on previous page and earlier at 09:35 black smoke also seems to me to be coming not from R1 but farther away and nearer to 5/6..

First impression. I think it 'may' be fog banks rolling. Very odd looking though.
HOWEVER, at 1:29 on the recording there is a small black plume that appears as you look at the wall of Reactor #2. It blows to the south at about 1:36.

This is not the first time we have seen black smoke spewing from the ground but it could be a camera malfunction?

I was unable to spot any smoke, but the rainbow colors at 'the gap' located between R1 and the west most tower/smoke stack look pretty scary.

That does look like the common shared fuel pool, but it's worth noting it's below zero at nights in Fukushima now. Any steam releases would freeze into "snow". Towards end of the video there's also some bursts coming from the direction of the sea, which seems to slightly support the hypothesis of water sprays freezing and snow blowing around. I do not believe they should be letting that much steam either.
Also, TEPCO update on common shared pool cable fire from last month: "As a result of investigation performed later on, the direct cause of the fire was identified to be the temporary cable of 200V distribution board for temporary lighting being connected to 100V cleaning equipment. As a countermeasure, we have reminded workers including the parties involved to get approval from a TEPCO supervisor to use the power supply and check the working voltage before use."

Fuel rod removal from #3? Just now?
Looks like a magnet just picked a fuel rod from #3 pool. At least from what I could see was a long skinny pipe like object hanging from the apparatus at the end of the crane cable.
Report Comment
Not a magnet. If fuel rods contain any magnetic alloys, the internal heat would likely delete any magnetic field.
Report Comment
Ok. All I know is that what I could see was a large item from which dangled a pipe object. Could have been a hook that attached to the assembly hoop which pics of the assemblies showed.
It is taking an hour from then until now for the ground crews to capture what was lowered. Now waiting for it to rise up again and see just what is missing from the crane's cable.

These are just snowflakes. Charged Particles. Nuke powered? You can see them against the buildings on the lower right. So it makes me think that if the buildings are concrete, these flashes are in the air all around. They are just more visible against the dark background.

No tsunami warning was issued for Japan, but all Tsunami Warnings, Advisories and Watches from the 8.0 at Sants Cruz/Solomon Islands have been canceled a while ago.
As is being tracke on the main page/news article on this site, the aftershocks are many and still continuing though.
The Tōhoku earthquake in Japan was 9.0 magnitude megathrust quake, this recent one really has got nothing on it, though it'll have been extremely devastating to the nearby islands.

Lousy webcam is nearly obliterated with water on lens. What kind of idiots would place a webcam without a cover which keeps rain off the lens?
Or is it that since Fuku is sparkling like a Christmas tree, they are intentionally making it so that we can't see?

If I'm not mistaken, there has been only one mag 8 quake so far. However there have been three of more than mag 6. Tsunami warnings were only for the local area around the Solomons, 1 meter wave reported. However, things may get worse. http://sincedutch.wordpress.com/

Look at Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Google Earth. You can see all the FAUX buildings we see on the web cam..what a farce. One thing, use Lat Long as the name is not searchable in google earth.
Report Comment
"Fukushima Nuclear" works on Google Maps / Earth, though the tag-name for the location is bit weird: http://goo.gl/maps/pHb0f
Not sure what you mean by "FAUX". The big problem though is for some reason there seems to be no recent air or satellite pictures of the area. The Google Maps copyrights say 2013, yet you can plainly see the images are from right after accident, you can even see steam. I've figured TEPCO may be paying to keep images of the radioactive waste containers off public so the enormity of the situation doesn't sink on people.

So they say they're gonna put some kind of protection over #3. They sure can't seem to be able to remove much of the entangled mess there. We just won't see the blinking lights anymore in its midst.
And there's been some shaking not far from Fuk. on the 6th. Probably below M.3 on the richter scale since it doesn't appear here: http://www.japanquakemap.com/

Okay, I did see something.
Here's what I saw.
The Smaller black crane has an extension arm sticking off of the end of it. Can be seen as the crane moves into position.
Pink clouds start and sparking begins to occur. Some odd black spots too. Maybe something attached to the extension arm. (?)
At first I though 'maybe' they were shooting or spraying something out it.
Then at about 11:29 jst the crane lifts a white bell shaped bucket.

Very strange. Resembles a high voltage plasma discharge in appearance. As the black crane nears R2 the extension grows a halo and then disappears. I could only guess what's going on.

'Sparking' & 'Pink CLloud'
Yes. There is some phenomenon occurring.
What it is? I have no clue.
(at the end of the crane arm)
The 'SPARKING' gets intense and obvious at several points. When I witnessed this live at normal speed it was even more dramatic looking. Note: You can't really see the event at all on the 20x recording.
Why the PINK CLOUD magically appears is odd. I also see some very translucent but still eerily visible greenish blue cloud puffs rise quickly. (when viewing full screen)

The rod-racks are from the front of the CSFP… and they not complete rack units anymore… rather burnt looking too! And, like the rods… they get moved out to the water-frontage area for disposal! The corium… well, it seems they figured-out how to use some liquid nitrogen and pushed the stuff rolled-up in dirt into a container of it to freeze it to a lifting hook! Then lift it back up into the repaired core of the #4 reactor. OH!?… didn't you notice them moving the red crane and platform out of the way so they could do this?

Enjoy the watching Unit 3's circus act while you can. Soon the cover will be in place, hiding the explosion results from view.
Tomorrow, Friday, TEPCO attempts to remove more beams and the refueling platform/crane laying in 3's spent fuel pool Any other time it would be a pristine pool of water not to be disturbed much but clearing this debris will cause other debris fall on what is left of the racks with little concern for the consequences.

Thanks for all your research and information PattieB.
Do you think that because the plume trails off after California and then is much more intense around New England that perhaps the west coast is being caused by Fuku and the east coast may have a problem at Pilgrim…after all there have been problems there before and after the storm…..maybe it got hit with a bug.
Report Comment
out my way.. bit of both… they been using Chem trails in conjunct with HAARP to keep the rads off DC.. so they sent them up into New England… it was also just pre-green tax-bill time… so…
They can induce a reduction with HAARP of what's in the clouds… but it causes a rather loud bang/flash like an over-sized bolt of lightning. Often causes quakes when they do so.
