      I was watching the helicopter operations last night on NHK. (I think this live stream link was posted above.)

      http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nhk-world-tv

      I truly appreciate the risks they and the ground workers are taking to do the best they can to contain the reactors. It's tough to even watch.

      I'm glad the drones are being used to take some of the burden off pilots. I've wondered about the boats they use to fight offshore oil rig fires, but I assume the distance over land to the reactors must be too great.

        From TEPCO press release (info already 12 hours old) - newest item underlined.

        * Unit 3
        At 6:50 am, March 14th, while water injection to the reactor was under
        operation, the pressure in the reactor containment vessel increased to
        530 kPa. As a result, at 7:44 am, it was determined that a specific
        incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (abnormal increase
        of the pressure of reactor containment vessel). Afterwards, the pressure
        has gradually decreased (as of 9:05 am, 490 kPa).

        At approximately 11:01 am, March 14th, an explosion followed by white
        smoke occurred near Unit 3. 4 TEPCO employees and 3 workers from other
        companies (all of them are conscious) have sustained injuries and they
        were already dispatched to the hospital by ambulances.

        As the temperature of water in the spent fuel pool rose, spraying water
        by helicopters with the support of the Self Defense Force was considered,
        however the works on March 16th was cancelled.

        At 6:15 am Today, March 17th, the pressure of the Suppression Chamber
        temporally increased, but currently it is stable in a certain range.
        Monitoring will be continued.
        In order to cool spent fuel pool, water discharge by helicopters has
        been conducted today on March 17th with the cooperation of Self-Defense
        Force.

            Work towards the cooling unit 3 will be made from a large building is broken, the SDF ground troops in the first team UH60 helicopters we headed to the helicopter in the sky to measure the radiation dose, "monitoring" the after conducting the morning of April 17, CH47 conducted using a helicopter dropping water.



            Once every 7.5 unit equipped with two helicopters that can drop tons of water containers, water from the sea to the nearby Kumi上Ge made a drop to No. 3 on four occasions together.


            In addition, for Unit 3 is also the first police riot "high pressure water cannons," is preparing to do from the ground due to drainage, flood control has been conducted on the night of 17 to reach the target radiation higher risk for the amount saved in a safe place to stop for drainage work. Currently, you are expected to consider whether to continue working in the future. Unit 3 in the same discharge from ground level to make a special five fire engines of the SDF, has just arrived on the scene.

                    To further analyze the effect irrigation TEPCO

                    22:29 March 17

                    Cooling function is lost in the Unit 3 of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station continues to be a serious condition, 17, work has been done by injection of spent fuel pool and the SDF. According to TEPCO, the amount of radiation measured by the site of origin, in and before and after a drop of water, significant changes were not observed or had the effect of how much will have to be analyzed in detail Masu.

                    This is the Tokyo Electric Power Co., unveiled at a press conference held 17 night. According to that, during the morning of April 17, the amount of radiation measured in a building known as Building Kaname Shigeru isolation in the northwest of the No. 3 back and forth that dropped the water helicopters of the SDF, 40 at 9:00 am before dropping ▽ 3782 microsievert minutes per hour, 20 minutes per hour microsievert 3752 at 10:00 am after the end of the drop ▽, 3810 2:00 pm microsievert was about two hours later ▽ more. For this, TEPCO, "in that there are large variations are observed like that there. Concrete evaluation is a further amount from the vicinity of the spent fuel pool when you drop the water vapor to what many saw the rise, but I think that shows that the cooling effect of irrigation, "he said, had the effect or how much will be to further analysis.

                          Primary external power restored after the 18th

                          March 17 0:23 minutes

                          Cooling function is lost, to restore function to cool the reactor in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station has fallen into a serious situation, TEPCO, 17, a power plant, transmission lines for the external power is restored have been working on drawing from work and took time to discharge it, is expected to recover after 18 days.

                          This is the night of 17 press conference, apparently to TEPCO.



                          The primary Fukushima Daiichi, in addition to power outages caused by the earthquake, became unusable electrical fault with the generator of emergency in the tsunami, such as losing the ability to cool the reactor in the No. 3 from No. 1, not in deep water Masu.



                          TEPCO, in order to restore function to cool the reactor, as it is necessary to recover the higher power supply from the outside, we are working to engage the transmission lines from power plants 17.



                          Specifically, the new transmission line from pulling through the high voltage transmission lines near nuclear power, tied to a temporary transformer is that sending small electric cooling system of Unit 2 of the first damage to electrical equipment.



                          The original plan, had planned to recover a portion of the external power supply to all over 17, it took some time to work and discharge high amounts of radiation field, and can recover from the operation proceeded with caution This is expected since the 18th.
