The sun isn't shining in Fuku today, but it seems to be in the last picture?

I see no fuel or racks. It looks like rubble. These are old .
That joint is way to radioactive. There was no camera in there if you cant get near #1, and maybe #2 and supposedly # 4. It makes no sense. They are too close together.
Makes no sense, Looks like ruse to me.

is that smoke in the last photo????

good point about the sunlight maybe its an old photo

I think the last photo is an old photo. Stuff like this makes me question the authenticity of all the pictures. Seems most of the info we get is BS.

Ace33,
That steam is from the SFP.
Notice that blue-ish color through the steam…
… That's the water in the pool.

Robot "Survey Runner" Lost in High-Radiation Reactor 3 Torus Room at #Fukushima I Nuke Plant
[excerpt Ex-skf] On the second job since its debut in April surveying the Reactor 2 Torus Room, the robot Survey Runner became inoperable inside the Reactor 3 Torus Room. TEPCO says the radiation levels inside the Torus Room are just too high to retrieve the robot. The maximum radiation recorded by the robot before it became inoperable was 360 millisieverts/hour.

majia,
I saw that, too.
360 miliseverts/hr… Ouch!
Report Comment
I suspect the actual levels could be measured in sieverts in that unit…
There were at least 3,450 fuel assemblies in the #3 spent fuel pool.
Number of Mox assemblies in the unit 3 core is not clear, but Fukushima 311 Watchdog says Areva claims 32 mox assemblies. Fukushima 311 watchdog thinks 164.

Tepco's submission of false data didn't stop in 2002:
On August 29, 2002, the government of Japan revealed that TEPCO was guilty of false reporting in routine governmental inspection of its nuclear plants and systematic concealment of plant safety incidents…The utility "eventually admitted to two hundred occasions over more than two decades between 1977 and 2002, involving the submission of false technical data to authorities".[20]

Unbelievable No Nukes
I doubt the lying has stopped…

majia,
They've been lying since at least 1978 by their own admission, so they've had a long time to practice. It is hard to believe any of their data.
"In 2007, however, the company announced to the public that an internal investigation had revealed a large number of unreported incidents. These included an unexpected unit criticality in 1978 and additional systematic false reporting, which had not been uncovered during the 2002 inquiry."

This lying is a way of life in the nuclear industry. Even whistle-blowing just gets the pawns rearranged on the chess board. If I remember right, this guy turned himself and his document falsifications concerning Unit 4's reactor vessel's hardening into the proper authorities, he was ignored.

We see how collusion continues. In a disaster the government & regulatory agencies should be in charge. And have access to all company documents & sites. And then you hope that they will actually look after their citizens.

Sure looks like their was high heat over SFP all the I beams in that area are bent and twisted, you need 1200 degrees or above for this to happen
Report Comment
Not necessarily, I think. A good explosion is enough, even without developing much heat, to bend steel. It doesn't look like something melted to me (outside the reactor core, that is)
Report Comment
Why are not all the beams twisted then, it was quite the detonation, maybe roof blow off collapsed,SFP heated up and on fire, that would produce enough heat to twist I beams.
What brought twin towers down, heat from jet fuel weakened steel and caused collapse not the impact.
Or their was a detonation over SFP, let's hope not.
I believe that is proof of fire in SFP.
Sorry to speculate, I am no academic, but have a inquisitive mind.

The more powerful and fast the explosion, the more violent the damage. Like Arnie said, the shockwave from a deflagration (i.e. hydrogen explosion) doesnʻt go supersonic like that of a nuclear detonation. Those twisted steel girders say "detonation" (as well as chunks of plutonium found off-site).
Report Comment
No, weeman, heat was not needed. As BreadAndButter suggests, explosive force can twist and sever steel beams just fine. And what we had with SFP #3 was a nuclear-powered shotgun. That's why there are no intact beams above the SFP.
Apologies for repeatedly posting this, but there still isn't any official recognition of the fateful 'three bangs' during the explosion of Unit 3. It's important.

What had caused the localized building collapse of the first image ?
That is the northeastern corner, which is tagged as point-of-view-1 in this other image released by the company:

Northwestern corner actually.
In the hi-res aerial image I used in my article above, it looks like a lot of the larger pieces of rubble from the roof fell down on that area of the building. Also in the video of the explosion you can see large bits of the roof dropping out of the plume to the North side. Enough to pulverize the girders, apparently.

Oh, here it was, from the fourth building, northwestern corner yes:

Its the 'steam condenser', encompassing several levels of the building.
Its blast allegedly totaled a whole chunk of the building.
Was it full of hydrogen in unit 3 when the explosion ?
