Seriously, "groundwat er", think, pacific ocean, tides, twice daily......

Wow, does Unit 3 still have a containment vessel? Anyway.. Unit 1 pressure above normal. Mark I reactor cannot handle over pressure long.
Report Comment
Of course not. And I guarantee if it did it wouldn't have any instrumentation on it either.
About a year ago they admitted a single time that all the data from #3 were "estimates".
Report Comment
How many times do I have to say it. The pressure vessel in Unit 3 did NOT blow up. The Spent Fuel Pool blew up due to a prompt criticality. (small nuclear explosion) So there is a pressure vessel that's damaged just like Units 1 & 2.
Report Comment
And how many times do I have to tell you that what you claim defies the laws of physics.
It is not possible to get the explosion profile that appeared from #3 out of the spent fuel pool
Anyone that claims it either is ignorant or lying.

bravo "cheers" yaaahhhh

@James; I have never made a personal attack at anyone on this site; ie: (liar, ignorant) and I am not going to start now. I gave a strong opinion based on facts. I am not a nuclear scientist but Arnie Gundersen is and he believes the fuel pool caused the big explosion. I agree with him because in this video I can see the edge of the top cover (well cap) of the presure vessel in place over the reactor. There is no way a reactor explosion could eject so much heavy material thousands of feet into the air and still have the well cap in place. Unless it flipped in the air like a tittly wick and landed perfectly back where it belonged.

While I'm on this subject again, I urge everyone to really study this video. Stop it in the begining and look at the fallen roof frame, it's still structurally intact over the reactor but destoyed over the fuel pool. An explosion leaves an open crater surrounded by ejected material. The only crater is the fuel pool. Watch the video over an over until you see what I see.

Info-
Sorry to be so strong about it too – but it's that important.
I will say by your description you are ignorant about the facts, and that you have followed someone who is either ignorant or lying – who you thought to be an "expert".
i've railed on Arnie unmercifully for the error right here. Arnie may be a nuclear expert, but he is not a mechanical expert or a physics expert if he's willing to claim what he claims
There is simply no physical possibility that the explosion came from the pool – end of story – it would defy the laws of physics.
That thing you think is a containment cap is not – it does look like one, but in other views it is seen to be something else.
And yes, there is a way the reactor could launch materials thousands of feet in the air – there was over 1000 psi of pressure in the containment before the explosion – that alone would launch – add a steam flash and you see what you get.
Sorry to be so direct – I've looked at virtually every detail of #3 and I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Stop the video you post above at exactly 4 seconds. It shows a view of the twisted roof structure laying over the wreckage.
Take a look at the steaming green spent fuel pool on the left. Would it have water in it if it exploded? How could it explode other areas of the building below the level of the walls of the pool if the explosion came from the pool?
Now take a look at one more thing. Notice the roof frame structure was shifted to the left a bit when it fell back down onto the building .
Look to the right of the pool and a bit to the bottom of the picture – notice a perfectly round hole that has been imprinted into the beams of the roof structure.
Prior to the explosion there wasn't a single rounded beam in the roof structure. Those are pretty heavy steel beams.
That round hole is where the cap and probably part or all of the reactor pressure vessel exited the top of the building. Other views…
Report Comment
show the hole even more clearly. If the roof were placed back into the correct position, that hole would line up exactly – precisely with the top of the reactor.
It's also exactly the same diameter as the RPV.
But the physics don't lie, and here they are:
Think about setting off two firework shells.
One you place in a tube. One you place in a metal box. The one in the tube goes straight up high into the air – like a bullet out of a gun. The one in a box blows out of the box in a "V" shape getting quickly spreading out wide above the rim of the box.
What you saw with #3 was a "gunshot" plume – there are only two things that could've created it – the containment or the elevator shaft. I'll give you one guess – and tell you it wasn't the elevator shaft.
Report Comment
The shills have made a tremendous effort to try and cover up the fact that the MOX exited the building when #3 blew.
Unfortunately they need to hire Isaac Newton instead of "nuclear experts" to do their bidding for them – however, I suspect Newton would instantly agree with me…

What is the big pressure buildup claimed for Units 2 and 3 in the pdf? Anyone know how to interpret that?
Report Comment
Oops – I should have said drop, not buildup, and I didn't notice that they had changed the units of measurement. Good thing I don't work for Tepco.
Report Comment
I think you mean unit 2's pressure is slightly higher than units 1 and 3. It's still only reading 20% higher than atmospheric pressure, though. If you read the key beneath the table above, it explains what the different pressure units mean.
Report Comment
I see it now, Unit 1 has atmosphere pressure and units 2 and 3 have not (pic 1). So if unit 1 has normal atmosphere pressure of 101.3 kPa then the gauge pressure would be 6.2 kPag, correct?

Off subject, kinda, but I found this page on Tepco's site from a link. Ive tried to just navigate to it but I cant. Check it out. Its all of the video and pictures Tepco took. Its really cool. You can watch all of the people and robots going into the buildings. http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/news/110311/index-e.html

High concentrations of hydrogen are not a problem if prevented from being exposed to oxygen, such as air, or any electrical malfunction that may cause sparking, such as caused by seismic activity.
Oh, wait . . .

Good Day to All, I love all the info. I truly do. However, regardless how it happen, the after effects are more important. How do we stop this, no one knows. BUT, if we talk about appropriate measures to fix something…then maybe that will lead us down a road that can fix one thing, and so on. Yes, I come here and read (listen) to all of you. I believe you all are very smart, have something to contribute to this site, and innovations come from a shear chance of luck or in this case, "WTF" can we do Attitude-since it is human nature to use our GOD given talents and stop harping on what blew off or not. Mankind is our HOPE and I PRAY every night for help. PEACE and LOVE, BE WITH ALL OF US. Ok, as a priest once said, I am off my soapbox. Thanks.

Kudos to ANYONE who is working on cleaning up this mess. We need outside the box thinkers working on this, as well as nuclear scientists and others as well.
This should take the place of the military defense budget. Hire people and stop the wars, with the amount of money we are spending on 'defense', every person could have a job at $100,000 plus full benefits.
What really happened at Fukushima?
