As for “white fume” place 3 near machine?
March 16th 10:38 am Japan time
16th 10 o'clock in the morning before, you verified that those like the smoke where the NHK helicopter is white from near the Fukushima first nuclear power plant have risen.Concerning this, as for Tokyo Electric Power “being able to verify actual place it is not. If you see with image, the place 3 is seen as near the machine.There is a possibility of vapor, but in the future we would like to investigate details”, you say. As for those like the smoke in order to have blown out intermittently, it is visible from image.It photographs the NHK helicopter, from the sky where 30 kilometers or more it is far from the nuclear power plant.

More reactor trouble: Fukushima No. 5 loses coolant
09:19 PM
Adding to the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, the cooling level has fallen in the No. 5 reactor, Japan's nuclear safety agency says.
The reactor stopped safely for inspection after Friday's magnitude 9 quake, but the tsunami damaged a diesel generator that circulated the coolant, NHK writes. Pressure built up, so a relief valve was opened, thereby reducing the coolant.
To compensate, workers are using the diesel generator for reactor No. 6 to pump water to cool both reactors.

"White smoke is water vapor possible"
11:29 am March 16 Japan time
16 before 10:00 am, white smoke rises from near the kind of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, TEPCO press conference, "As far as visuals, Unit 3 is expected to close, there is the possibility of steam" and talked.
According to TEPCO, the pool of spent fuel are stored in the Unit 3 cooling can not state that it is possible to evaporate water to the pool temperature to rise. Before 10:00 am on May 16, NHK helicopter and confirmed that the white smoke rising from some kind of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station near. For this, TEPCO press conference "can not confirm the field. Unless you see in the picture, and was seen near the location of Unit 3, there is a possibility of water vapor, will want to study more" and told . According to TEPCO, the steam out as a possibility is that it is considered that the evaporation of pool water that is stored spent fuel. The pool of Unit 3 has stored the fuel assemblies of the body 514, now that it no longer be cool, trying to possibly exposed fuel is going down the pool water.

North wind around the nuclear power plant expected to increase
11:29 am March 16 Japan time
Wind around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station TEPCO expected during the night of 16 blows from north to south for 16 days, the wind is expected to increase gradually.
According to the agency, in the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, is entering the observations after the earthquake, followed by the state and can not be observed wind direction and wind strength. In Yamada Nakoso in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture away more than 60 kilometers south of nuclear power stations Fukushima Daiichi is currently 11:00 am, they wind northwest of four meters, even in the vicinity of nuclear power plants, between north and south is believed that the weak wind. According to local meteorological observatory, Fukushima, because after this gradually increase the pressure pattern of the wintry wind is expected to increase gradually toward the northwest to the southeast of the sea from the landward side.

Workers Evacuated From Japanese Nuclear Reactor
by NPR Staff and Wires
March 15, 2011
All workers from a crippled reactor at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan, have been evacuated, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Wednesday.
Edano said that white smoke was rising from the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima Daichi power plant, adding officials were investigating the cause. He said radiation levels had been fluctuating by the hour; they had spiked rapidly Wednesday morning, and that even the minimal workforce was evacuated.

If that's true, then all six reactors are at risk and there is the potential of at least one catastrophic failure.

I listened to the news conference and I am not sure that the evacuation of the workers is permanent. It might be temporary.
They are considering using helicopters to drop water on Unit 3.Comment

I increased the number of radiation from the Unit 2
12:42 pm March 16
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, at a press conference at noon too, why the sudden increase in the number of radiation near the front gate of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the pressure suppression chamber Sapuresshonpuru-corruption showed that the view that it might leak out from the radioactive material have been found in Unit 2.
Of these, NISA, near the main gate, 16 am, the number of radiation increased rapidly, at 10 am for 40 minutes revealed that 10 mSv of radiation were detected per hour . Then down the number of radiation, 11 am to 10 minutes after 30 minutes, is that per hour down to 2.7 mSv. Therefore, TEPCO, which had saved them in a safe place for workers 40 minutes past 10 am because it lowered the number of radiation, at 11:30 am is that it has canceled the evacuation . Number of temporary radiation raised about, NISA "from TEPCO, the idea has received a report from the influence of the damaged Unit 2 Sapuresshonpuru" I said. Initially, there is also the view that radiation increased the number of Unit 3 was under the influence of smoke rising from about 8:30 am July 16, from Tokyo Electric Power reported that it was caused by a No. 2 is.

In this context, the Minister of Defense Sawa Kita is on the Unit 3 nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi, "There are reports that I saw and fire the No. 3, so that it is open upper portion of the building, in some cases, the SDF helicopters strive to digestion, I think that it is possible to supply water, "and said it has to consider the work and hit the fire with the helicopter dropping water from the SDF. In addition, the Minister Sawa Kita "This decision is based on something that can damage the Unit 3 containment. As the SDF for the amount of radiation is to know, to withdraw before it can be dangerous .'s Self-Defense Forces is to protect human life at the end, but a last minute decision, "he said. Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the raised No. 4 in the morning again 16 days once the fire is gone, "the corrupt side shed do not know what strength.
