New Fukushima Images Inside R1 Before Robot Died Update 4/13/15 HD
TEPCO Releases Reactor Footage Captured by Robot Before it "DIED" Hours After the Journey Began Apr. 13, 2015 The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has released interior footage of a reactor containment vessel captured by a robot. Tokyo Electric Power Company sent the remote-controlled robot into the highly contaminated area of the No.1 reactor last Friday to assess damage. But the robot became immobile after advancing about a dozen meters. On Monday, TEPCO released part of the about 3-hour-long footage recorded by the robot. The 2-minute 40-second-long clip shows mainly steam. It is thought that water at the bottom of the containment vessel is being evaporated by the heat of the melted nuclear fuel. The temperature inside the vessel was about 20 degrees Celsius. But the robot recorded up to around 10 sieverts of radiation per hour, a level that could kill a person in about 40 minutes. The footage shows small bits of debris around the robot, but no major damage to the nearby wall and structures. TEPCO plans to analyze the footage to consider ways of removing the melted fuel and decommissioning the reactors. The utility has cut the remote control cable for the robot after giving up on its recovery on Sunday, and postponed a second survey with another robot. ~~~~~ Japan Debates 20% Greenhouse Gas Cut by 2030 ~~~~~ Most of the inspected dolphins had lungs in ischaemia state as “entirely white” http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/04/most-of-the-inspected-dolphins-had-lungs-in-ischaemia-state-as-entirely-white/ ischemia noun, Pathology local deficiency of blood supply produced by vasoconstriction or local obstacles to the arterial flow.

The researching team, which consists of approx. 30 experts, performed autopsy inspection on 17 dolphins. The chief of the researching team stated “Most of the lungs looked entirely white”. She commented though internal organs were generally clean without any symptoms of disease or infection, but most of the lungs were in ischaemia state. She said “I have never seen such a state”. Most of the 160 dolphins died by the evening of 4/11/2015. http://teibansite.com/hotnews/twitter.php?query=%E8%8C%A8%E5%9F%8E%20%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AB http://bintan.ula.cc/test/read.cgi/wc2014.2ch.net/lifeline/1427020446/l50 ~~~~~ Latest Headlines: http://enenews.com/ Top US Nuclear Physicist: “Iodine-131 will be lethal after ingestion of 30 billionths of a gram” — Main worry is not a Chernobyl-type accident, rather it’s a melt-through of containment vessel — “Not possible to disprove China Syndrome” Japan Times: Over 150 dolphins wash ashore at multiple locations — 50 miles from Fukushima border — Could be largest mass stranding ever reported in nation’s history — Govt’ Expert: “The dolphins may have had
