Fukushima new Level 1 Incident Live Press Conference warns of new leaks at plant, unsure where leaks are coming from...

by the way, Level 1 isnt a very big deal..

This is Tepco though remember when they say Level 1 who knows...

first thing I noticed from the web page translator is that there are 60+ MILLION visitors. dont know if that means cumulatively, or real time. or my text translator is broken.

Passing out propaganda to the journalists before the briefing?

what a fucking joke, shits been at least a level 10+ since day fucking one

I'd imagine cumulatively surely! Here we go...

Ok my friend we need your talents now!

there is about 5500 people listening in

I don't see them cleaning up our mess too quickly.. more likely they'll watch us crash and burn, do the universe a favor.

Well the Tepco employees look calm at the press conference so far...

Its all a BIG deal .. as many others are saying, if they are admitting it publicly the magnification of damage is no doubt much higher.

OK its way too complicated to translate like this, but hes basically saying that they have some worry about tank leakage. that more than one tank is leaking and they dont know the exact points, then he is telling exactly how full each tank is (many of them above 90% full) and how many tons have leaked.

Thanks for the translate, if they don't know where tanks are leaking from that's not a good start!

So basically we are going to have the near future a massive megaquake that will shake up the whole world and kill billions. Nice.

this is a big leak from a storage tank holding highly contaminated water, just fuckin great... it's not like you can just say "clean-up on isle 7"...
how many containers are going to be full of this shit????

Great ill just translate fucking Japanese! No captions, all craptions.

Cool thanks! Wasn't sure if it would have english translation anywhere or not, but yeah it doesn't...

Now hes talking about how many beta and gamma nucleides have been found and which elements have been found in the water and whether that water is inside the tank or outside.

(trust me this is very high level japanese, above my level, I'm doing my best loll)

There is a pump between 10 and 11 that .. has something. Im not sure?

the tanks are all connected so when there is a problem with one there is a problem with all of them

OMG something about rain... I missed it because i was typing the last line... Tokyos gonna get rain too this afternoon.. I'm not sure, I'll have to ask a friend if they heard it. The commenters are freaking out about it.

He finishes off when they have more information they will tell.

Thats the end of his report.

Thanks so much!!! My advice stay out of the rain in Japan!

I do not know enough Japanese yet to know what he is saying! Anyone?

Best we have so far...

Great, thanks for the run down, I am learning Japanese, you must know a lot. Are you from Japan? I see it says New Zealand. DO a lot of people in NZ speak Japanese?

Is handling translation not me.

NHK is asking how much radiation is leaking into the ocean?

he says there is a picture on page 3 that shows all of that information.
it goes out about 100meters radius from the shore


Sorry I missed a bunch because baby woke up. They are gonna use some kind of portable tank.


Kyodo news asking questions: How high up is the ground water reaching

tepco: 10 meters aprox.

kyodo: --- sorry baby crying

tepco: on page 10 you can see blah blah picture, it will become a problem at 20 meters

omg .. i cant do it anymore. sorry guys. youre gonna have to wait for a professional translation. this is harder than i thought.

No worries thanks heaps for all you did
