Tepco halts cooling system at nuclear plant after sparks-Kyodo, Reuters, July 7, 2011:
The operator of Japan’s Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant, located near the tsunami-crippled Daiichi plant, on Thursday halted the cooling system at one of its reactors after electrical sparks were detected, Kyodo news agency reported. [...]
Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station: Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to the earthquake, TEPCO, July 7, 2011:
At 2:05 pm on July 7, we received a report as follows: “Workers from our subcontractor were checking the power board for the High Pressure Core Spray System located at B1, auxiliary building to R/B, Unit 1. They found sparks from a circuit breaker in that power board.” At 2:30 pm on the same day, TEPCO employees checked the power board. From now on, we will open the connecting circuit breaker that supplies power to the power board and investigate the cause. In connection with this, we are planning to temporarily stop the Residual Heat Removal System Pump (B).

chemfood, thanks for the link. What disturbs me about that site is that it shows old headlines in the “ever refreshing” section in the middle. I get heartstrokes when I read it, and then it turns out it’s from June 5th.

for those of you joining us today…
Reactors 3 and 4 are going nuts again…
The media is still limited to either: what they can no longer deny, and are not willing to tell…
Radiation is not a banana
R 1 may be steaming from its base.
Its not fog,
and im tired
On the brightside:
goodnight,
find love
and cheers

Daini (4 reactors) and Oganawa (3 reactors) all sustained damage from either or all EQs, tsunami and grid overload. All are running on backup power as far as I can tell, especially Oganawa. #1 sustained EQ damage and was smoking in March. Radiation was also detected there in March. Oganawa has 3 cracked cooling pools, lost all grid, and while they were working on patching up the grid, the 7.8 EQ hit dropping 2 of the three legs of power they was fed under water through the bay. For all we know, all three plants can be releasing radiation. We need to be there. The USA. For two reasons. 1) Save the Japanese people, 2) throw out TEPCO. Its bad enough the Japanese are being killed, but now Hawaii and Midway are being bombarded with radiation. The bulk of our Navy is also being bombarded in Pearl Harbor. If you ask me, it looks like we are under attack at the expense of several million Japanese people. Enough of playing guessing games and time to call it for what it is.

“We need to be there. The USA.”
I’d prefer UN or Red Cross Intl. to intervene, to be honest.

did you check out google earth terrain on the onagawa reactor..there was alot of destruction around that whole area. it doesnt surprise me that they are having similar problems there! when i went to look for onogawa nuke plant on google earth about 4 or 5 weeks ago it took me to the other side of the peninsula and i had to zoom right in to find the power lines..i followed them across the mountain to the power station..weird that, and in all low lying areas there was debris!!! i think that someone was trying to mess with google earth japan, but thats probaly just paranoia!!

The Japanese need to declare Martial law, let the army
take over C&C.

ordinarily this would be minor shutting down one pump, but, we don’t know how many other pumps are down.
