Follow-up to yesterday’s report: All 12 quakes to hit Japan today were near Fukushima Prefecture
Title: M 5.6 quake hits NE Japan, no injuries
Source: Kuwait News Agency
Date: Oct 25, 2011
[...] The quake registered lower 5 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7 in the central part of Miyagi Prefecture, according to the agency. The agency defines an intensity of lower 5 as strong enough to make hanging objects swing violently and most unstable ornaments fall. The Japanese scale measures how much places were shaken on the surface while the Richter scale measures the energy of the quake itself. [...] There were no reports about abnormalities at nuclear power plants in the region, according to the operator. [...]

Thank God. I just *hate* nuclear plant abnormalities.

Was anyone watching the livecam when this happened? I think all previous strong eqs have been accompanied by higher rad emissions as well, correct?

That was a big bump! Yes, expect higher emissions.
To start at 1 minute 30 seconds into the video just add this to the end of the link.

Thx for the how-to on timing the link, ChasAha!

Arizona, yes it does seem to increase the rads why I'm not sure perhaps because it disturbs the corium which may have formed a crust thus a shake possibly cracks it open? excuse my ignorance just speculating but levels do increase you are right about that, unfortunately. NO NUKES

msb, i think you might be right, and something i learned from an Arnie Gundersen video regarding the state of the corium is that if it blobs and pancakes, then it has less room to fission because the isotopes need room between them to make the reaction, but, if pieces break off or a portion spreads out away from the main blob, then that gives room for refissioning to take place again. So, while the coriums move, either through melt-through down or through ground-shifting that may allow some to enter a crevice or small crack, parts of the corium can go from quiet to suddenly active. I would imagine that any earthquake could easily make this happen. I imagine that digging under the corium to try and trap it could also run this risk if the earth shifts or sags now that i think about it.

5.6 EQ..seen on both cams-tepsham @19:33. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_yZYL-CUDI&list=UUDu1KkkwuzybKx6MXQgGHuw&index=6&feature=plcp ..tbs/jnn @ 1:40 secs in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INa7WE2RaDk&feature=plcp

And just before the quake..see the bright flashing lights on top of the reactor..and at the ground level..show white suited people running for that area. Look at the ground level..near the foot (open area) of reactor 3. They show a red van..a guick peek..then the white suits running to the reactor. What gives? and THEN the EQ shakes it up. The flashes were before…EQ.

Good observation. I saw that too.

I remember last year, 3 weeks before the big earthquake, there were many more tremors than there are usually. Not very big ones, but we were hit often hit. I talked over the phone to my mother oversea a few days before the big one hit. On that day that I called, she was worried after the last tremor that hit was higher than usual, as just another one a week earlier and I told her not to worry. Than the big one hit just one or days after.
I am now looking for a similar patern however it might not happen the same way. I feel that a series of small to medium and even a little high activities over 2 to 3 weeks in row, are corolated with the imminence of a much bigger one.

dka, there were three M6+ earthquakes in the ring of fire in the past day or so, which represents more movement than we've experienced along the ring of fire in quite a while. Movement tends to produce more movement, so we can expect several more M5-6 in the Pacific ring, and perhaps some larger M7-8 or larger soon, as in the next day or two. I hope you get out of Japan soon. While you are there, keep survival gear packed and be ready ot butout if you must. Have some water jugs full of fresh water in your home. Have a plan, an escape route, and a destination in mind if yiu need to get away from your home. But mostly, please get out of Japan now! There is no future to be had there, for you or anybody else.

Umm…that's lots of shoreline..
I still have concerns about Onagawa and Tokai.
This one..18.94 from..Onagawa.

How was the public lulled into not continuing to query about the condition of these Npps,etc.?

What's this supposed to mean?

… does anyone has any information on it? Is there a regular occurrence of "nuclear events" at RSOE EDIS or is this something out of the ordinary?
