2011 12 04 at 8:20 AM TEPCO webcam. Green in R1/2/3/4, red “beam”–or whatever. Green up in the stacks. Blue in R1 and over by the Common Fuel Pools. Pretty messy video with pink steam off of R1. Now –it could be filters..but frankly, just think its filters not working well and we have ionized particles from radiation events. Note: Could be criticality — just ramping up–spewing out products, ramping down, and then repeating the cycle. Just a mess.

The maximum radiation dose, noticeable rise in many parts of the Tohoku, Kanto prefectures each
Northeast, the maximum radiation dose was observed at 9 Monday morning from 9:00 am to each of 08 prefectures in the Kanto region, compared to 7 to 8, conspicuous rise.

anybody lookin’ at the Tomioka cam right now? it’s pretty bizarro. out-of-focus, pitch-black except for two blurry lights, one greenish, the other blinking + red. no view of the street, at all.
Report Comment
Yeah,
That happened right after I posted this above last night.
I was watching this all day yesterday and it was fine and within a few minutes of posting this rant above, it went all blurry and has stayed that way since. Soon, it will be daylight and we shall see if they leave it unfocused to hide the amounts of govt/military traffic going where?
What is of concern now is, who is Nuclecnhen and how is it he is able to get these cameras to go close up. Is this a insider playing games with us? So far, we have not got a straight answer from this person who is where?
Someone is spying on the enenews here and almost real time reacting to some of the info that is posted here.
I hope I am wrong, but if nucchen wants to give us some clear explanations instead of the babble that would be good. He obviously understands english enough to be quirky with it.
No offense to anyone, we are just looking for truth. Clear, plain, and simple! What is it and why did this camera go blurry last night when we drew attention to it?

Hi James, Nuckelchen is completely harmless, in my opinion. I think he’s a caretaker with too much time…..
Report Comment
Dear James,
They read enenews! And adjust their information output. There is no other place with so much information on the topic. I would not suspect anyone of us here.
Report Comment
I agree. And even so what anyone says, reports are released on observations and despite cameras. It has happened to me before, them changing after comment. You’ve even seen evidence of shills being sent here. James, they know you are smarter than they are. Pointing out distractions is info, which is good, but can still be distractions, so don’t shoot the messenger as the other evidence shows he’s ok. It’s the cameras and tepco that have the problem in my opinion. Posting what you think is cryptic talk to hopefully send over words of truth is really no different than posting songs that say the same. I appreciate you and him. I’ve needed your words some days just as much as his. I’ve shared both of your songs. Thanks to everyone here, really. We learn from info, whether true or not is what we look for and obviously, we and you are good at it.

Nuckelchen is a super computer type–who can enlarge and pixelate, and render or software compare the video footage. Not new and unknown technology. I appreciate the long hours, and the efforts he has made to capture footage..no one else has done what he has done..or she..So kudos! And you are from where James2?

He’s not James2 – that’s me.
Report Comment
Can’t see how Nuckelchen is helping TEPCO’s case since his videos make the f’d up nature of the situation more visible. TEPCO can access Enenews like the rest of the world. Arnie Gundersen said that he is here multiple times a day, and I’m sure TEPCO is too, along with the American acronyms. Nuckelchen and everyone else who has been committed to watching these crappy films are responsible for giving us all the best picture we have of the situation. They are heroic, even if they don’t answer your questions the way that you want them to.

i think the Nuck is sincere and working hard for “our team”, really i do.
i understand your questions, James; the coincidences and timing of camera…er, malfunctions are frustrating as hell, but honestly, i’m inclined to believe these manipulations are, to use chemfood’s phrase, tepco.nuke.gov-related. Don’t think Nuck is a friend of theirs.

Hello all and hey B&B,
Yes, reckon the frustration of no real good pictures and or video is getting to me. After last nights shutting down of the road cam, that was enough to say, why bother with these gamsters. As I said, it’s offensive to anyone that is only seeking the truth.
I think it is safe to say that we here at enenews that are many in number only want the truth. As I said before, it is just ridiculous and stupidly childish to keep giving us these videos that are obviously being tampered with and turned into trick photography, or is being portrayed as truth. It only makes the Japanese people look stupid and unintelligently inefficient especially in the face of this crystal clear picture of the crystal clear TV screen in the background as you have so excellently pointed out here B&B. You can just see these tricksters adjusting the hues to make the camera look silly and as mis-informing as their college degrees are, and laughing it up in this center. If this is the picture they want to show the world, then so mote it be. Personally, I’m getting pretty dang tired of ALL THE HORSE-EXCREMENT!~

2011 Dec 10 20:50 The usual for TEPCO webcam. “the nights of Fukushima” bright lights, colors of blue, green, yellow around Reactor 3 and 4, reactor 1 with a blue “glow” area in the tent, large plume rising up over the “work light” area, third crane has blinking red lights..likely to help redirect eyes from the problem areas. On TBS/JNN cam..very very out of focus, again, as usual.
The same and continuous “fog” or steam seen during the daylight at TEPCO webcam. A “pink haze” due to color shifts by software rises from over all the reactors, as well as the “floating crane” at Reactor 1 -due to bad cut and paste coverup job, and NEW– with a large plume of green and white substances streaming up from over Reactor 3 and 4. Likely ionized gsses..from the “shutdown” reactors who continue to make TEPCO look bad because of hydrodgen gas production, heat and steam from the corium cores, and radiativity increased spread over Japan. The new NORMAL for Japan…

Could this be the er um, ‘gas control’ solution for reactor? It should be called a ‘gas release’ rather than gas control. Yep, it’s workin’ now, steaming into the sky. R2′s ‘gas control’ is allegedly working now too. Nothing more to see, move along.

I’m not feeling well and overtired but had to jump in here one last time before I crash for a few hours. I hopped on to the TBS cam one last time tonight and I don’t know if I’m seeing things or what-but the damned tower with the stack in front of R1 seems to be warped and swaying from left to right!! If the corium from R1 has deteriorated the foundation & pipewrok under that tower and/or an earthquake(or 2) undermined its stability there may be something set to go down with unknown consequences!!?? If I’m quoting symptoms of a low-grade fever & sleep deprivation I apologize but if I’m not-then someone else more alert than I am tonight may notice it too!!?? ~Again, PEACE~ and Have a nice weekend everyone!!

A couple of days ago I started noticing (what I assumed to be) signs of ground instability but thought perhaps I was just halucinating. Thought maybe I was staring at the screen to hard and just seeing things.
Tonight I’m noticing it once again after only watching the feed for a minute or two. Also I’m noticing it to be more prononunced in certain areas.
It definitely concerns me as well! If the ground has deteriorated that much then it’s only a matter of time…

Clouds of death released. 2011 12-11 22:37 TEPCO webcam. Look at all the stacks and the area, plume, over the “work lights”–just streaming out of the stacks..and heading out towards Russia and the USA. Lots of little spark lights in the “steam”–and around the grounds. The red blinking lights, might be set up to deflect watchers from seeing the smoke going up..and the radioactive flashes of ionized gases.

For the various colors we are seeing on the TEPCO webcam by Reactor #3, which used MOX fuel see the different colors of “Various oxidation states of plutonium in solution” in:
Plutonium
Compounds and chemistry
See also: Plutonium compounds
“Various oxidation states of plutonium in solution
“At room temperature, pure plutonium is silvery in color but gains a tarnish when oxidized.[29] The element displays four common ionic oxidation states in aqueous solution and one rare one:[14]
• Pu(III), as Pu3+ (blue lavender)
• Pu(IV), as Pu4+ (yellow brown)
• Pu(V), as PuO2+ (pink?)[note 1]
• Pu(VI), as PuO22+ (pink orange)
• Pu(VII), as PuO53− (green)–the heptavalent ion is rare
“The color shown by plutonium solutions depends on both the oxidation state and the nature of the acid anion.[30] It is the acid anion that influences the degree of complexing—how atoms connect to a central atom—of the plutonium species.
Metallic plutonium is produced by reacting plutonium tetrafluoride with barium, calcium or lithium at 1200 °C.[31] It is attacked by acids, oxygen, and steam but not by alkalis and dissolves easily in concentrated hydrochloric, hydroiodic and perchloric acids.[32] Molten metal must be kept in a vacuum or an inert atmosphere to avoid reaction with air.[15] At 135 °C the metal will ignite in air and will explode if placed in carbon tetrachloride.[33]
“Plutonium pyrophoricity can cause it to look like a glowing ember under certain conditions.
“Twenty micrograms of pure plutonium hydroxide.[34]
Plutonium is a reactive metal. In moist air or moist argon, the metal oxidizes rapidly, producing a mixture of oxides and hydrides.[5] If the metal is exposed long enough to a limited amount of water vapor, a powdery surface coating of PuO2 is formed.[5] Also formed is plutonium hydride but an excess of water vapor forms only PuO2.[32]
Report Comment
[cont.]
but an excess of water vapor forms only PuO2.[32]
“With this coating, the metal is pyrophoric, meaning it can ignite spontaneously, so plutonium metal is usually handled in an inert, dry atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. Oxygen retards the effects of moisture and acts as a passivating agent.[5]
“Plutonium shows enormous, and reversible, reaction rates with pure hydrogen, forming plutonium hydride.[11] It also reacts readily with oxygen, forming PuO and PuO2 as well as intermediate oxides; plutonium oxide fills 40% more volume than plutonium metal. It reacts with the halogens, giving rise to compounds such as PuX3 where X can be F, Cl, Br or I; PuF4 is also seen. The following oxyhalides are observed: PuOCl, PuOBr and PuOI. It will react with carbon to form PuC, nitrogen to form PuN and silicon to form PuSi2.[14][33]
“Crucibles used to contain plutonium need to be able to withstand its strongly reducing properties. Refractory metals such as tantalum and tungsten along with the more stable oxides, borides, carbides, nitrides and silicides can tolerate this. Melting in an electric arc furnace can be used to produce small ingots of the metal without the need for a crucible.[15]
“Cerium is used as a chemical simulant of plutonium for development of containment, extraction, and other technologies.[35]…”

I found this page that says a tungsten welding torch can give off a green flame if the tungsten is contaminated with certain other materials (I know nothing about welding myself; I just googled it). It’s pure speculation, but perhaps they were dismantling something using such a torch?:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Welding-3487/Flame-color-Tig-Welding.htm
“Question
Hello, I’m using a Thermal Arc 200gts (about 7 yrs old), to put together a
stainless steel table, and lately the flame seems to be a greenish color. It
produces a bit more heat than normal and seems to be less focused. … do you have any suggestions?
Answer
The green arc is caused by a contaminated tungsten.
This means you touched the tungsten to either the base metal or the filler rod.
Try a clean tungsten with a fresh point.
The point should be ground to about the same taper as a newly sharpened pencil.
Check out this site for more info about tungsten.
< http://www.pro-fusiononline.com/tungsten/>
When the tungsten gets contaminated it will erode rapidly, which reduces your arc heat. “

This show seems set for Fukushima shutting down Japan, not the other way around.
The collective myopia over the steady flow of news is an excellent reason to ban nuclear power completely. It may be safe with appropriate protocols, but almost hundred incidents later, it is high time the human cost and damages were included in the cost of using nuclear power, and let us see if it is all that cheap.
