Wed dose unchanged before and after the bombing
12 hours 38 minutes March 17

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continues to be a serious loss of cooling conditions, work has been done into the water spent fuel pool at Unit 3 of the SDF from the air using helicopters. According to TEPCO, the amount of radiation measured by the primary tumor site, and before and after the bombing in a big change but for now it's not.

In the No. 3 and No. 4 of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the state and can not keep a cool pool of spent fuel has been found that the temperature is raised to the water evaporates. If you continue in this state, as there is a leak outside the radioactive material to melt the fuel, the task force, the government asked the police and the SDF can do water into the pool from the ground and sky for. Of these, work water into spent fuel pool at Unit 3 of the SDF from the air using a helicopter, took place four times during 48 minutes at 1:10 am 9 am 17 min. In response, the office held a press conference Hukuzima TEPCO much radiation was measured in the main building one hundred meters away from the office No. 3, 3782 microsievert 40 minutes per hour before the bombing at 9:00 am The numbers were even minutes after the 20:10 am end dropped, and 3752 microsievert per hour, with no clear major changes so far.

If the volume of water in the "bomb" hit the pool perfectly, was it sufficient volume to immerse the rods? It appears not, but perhaps with repeated tries they can "fill the pool."

"The pool water was No. 4"
12 hours 38 minutes 17 3 twitter tweet in (click on the site leaves the NHK)

According to TEPCO, the 17th, we examined the status of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of the SDF from the helicopter, the spent fuel pool at Unit 4 is a state that is confirmed there is water. The amount of water from inside is still not confirmed that. In addition to the Unit 3 steam that was 立Chikome work from the water into a helicopter over 16 days of the SDF is that it has decided to start No. 3.

They are bringing in the fire trucks with the water cannons now. The problem with just dropping water onto the pools is that, I believe, the water needs to be circulating to keep the rods cool. Maybe if they get the power on they can fix the plumbing/mechanics so they can circulate the water that they are pumping in.

How many people are enduring the high radiation to bring in the water and repair the plumbing/mechanics?

They're the modern Kamakazi pilots.

Perhaps at some point they can use robots to do some of the work, or at least testing/sampling.

U.S. to send drones over damaged nuke plant

(CBS/AP) They've been used in the drug war in Mexico and to help fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, unmanned U.S. spy planes will be used over Japan to take a closer, safer look at the damaged Fukushima nuclear complex.


CBS News' Harry Smith reports that the drones are equipped with infrared cameras, which will allow officials to look inside the complex and find the hot spots where there might be the most trouble.


Conditions at the plant deteriorated Wednesday, with surging radiation forcing Japan to order workers to temporarily withdraw from the plant. In response, the U.S. recommended citizens within 50 miles of it evacuate.

(snipped)

Airmen have been flying search and rescue missions and operating Global Hawk drones and U-2 reconnaissance planes to help the Japanese assess damage from the disasters......

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.

Ghost in the discharge water can reach evacuation

minutes on March 17 at 19:00

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Unit 3 in order to cool, the riot police using high-pressure water cannons, 17 day and night, and made a ground water discharge from the high radiation dose to reach target risk Because, in a safe place to retreat to the interruption.


No. 4 and the No. 3 nuclear power plant first Fukushima, if a state can not cooling pool storage of spent fuel either, since there is a leak large amounts of radioactive materials to continue to this state were urged to do the cooling for the SDF and the police headquarters of the government.

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.
