I still wonder why these quakes are all occurring in or just off-shore from Fukushima. The original quakes were out further off-shore. It it typical (historically) for so many quakes to be centered in or near Fukushima?
I wonder about HAARP being used. Haven’t found anything about that online. Leuren Moret had a lot to say about HAARP being used to trigger the original huge quakes that destroyed the plants, as well as the Haiti and Sumatra quakes. She does not idly speculate, but has done a lot of research to back up her hypotheses.

Shallow earthquakes off shore?
There was a theory that many shallow quakes, 10 of them in one day, last autumn, were a result of hot stuff hitting the water table.
Presumably that would happening under some free passage for water to explosively flash into steam. Now, their is enough static head to be above the ‘triple point’ of water, assuming there is enough heat being generated to exceed entropy of heat conducted into the surrounding rock.
There seems to be very little steam being released into the ruins of the reactors. Except r2, that is. No steam is visible on those calm winter days.
Idea presented for opinion:
Rock is a poor conductor of heat. The amount of ‘heat’ generated would be great, as evidenced by metal melting down to reach a water table.
Perhaps the hot water is finding a horizontal passage out, a crack, and flashing into a some kind of vented chamber under the seabed?
Water/steam surely wouldn’t be able to travel back up the melt hole; melted igneous rock would soon be a cold slag plug forming on the top surface of the heavy, inert, molten mass.
As the hot metal travels through per-existing cracks of any earthquake shattered rock, metal could go in any direction under the power plant; any direction that is, except ‘up’.
Given sustained heat generation, steam could go far and migrate readily through porous rock. Any steam pressure released would of course, be a load on energy being generated by hot metal in any water bearing rock.
Throw that idea out there; see if it sticks to anything.

No.
Water above it’s triple point would be ‘pumped’ into rock crevices and frack the earthquake shattered rock.
Static head pressure of water flowing deep in through bedrock, under the ill fated power plant, would be high enough to prevent venting straight ‘up’. Hot water, not steam, because of the containing rock matrix, would, through simple volume expansion, ‘pump’ water into cracks and force weaker rocks apart.
Therefore, a small amount of migration of very hot pressurized water could cause cooler water to hydraulically pressure the surrounding rock apart. As with any hydraulics, liquids can not be compressed, the volume can change due to expansion, and nothing can stop it.
Therefore High temperature water doesn’t have to travel far to be a cause of catastrophic rock failure. (Earthquake).

5.2 off the coast of Honshu http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0007p8z.php
I think there could be a connection but it is really hard to prove. There is something really odd happening around the whole EARTH.

We just now are getting our first rain since November of 2011. We are not going out in it at all. I am buying a counter this week to measure the Sierra snow pack {now that there will be some to measure} will post the # here for all to see. We are still working on letters to the Mayors of the west coast about the coming debris from Japan.

+1 good luck!

Way awesome norbu!!! Thanks,…the Sierras are my backyard also,…this will be VERY helpful!

Considering that these quakes could have impacted the area and, cause “consequences,” to this “stable” situation… I guess that all is well and everything is going as planned.
Nobody got hurt, and all will go home safely.

Godzilla has moved in below, and turned #2 reactor central core into his new homes air handeling system!
Didn’t you see them throw him a moving-in party over at #3 reactor?
They built him a LOVERLY gazebo where #1 used to be!
They seem to still be working on fixing the heated swiming pool they’ve got over in #4 though!

WOW,
…guess I’v seen that somewhere else around here.
