Temperature spikes in No. 4 fuel pool after pump burns — Backup also breaks

Indeed.

Just as a side note.......Im not sure the significance, but BRIGHT white light can easily be observed coming from the location of the SFP

This pic is from a coupe of days ago....now its worse.

Im trippin'

:R4hot:

Japan is dead...you die long time now...

Neutron beam?

Cam link for those who dont have it....it is a new one

. The firm fixed the pump on Wednesday, and restarted it at around 6 PM.

TEPCO says the pool's temperature at 11 AM on Wednesday was 40 degrees Celsius, up six degrees from a day before. As of 5 PM, the temperature had risen to 42 degrees.

TEPCO expects the temperature to fall by about 10 degrees over next 12 to 24 hours.

You get it.....

I hope this is true....but I am doubtful

Image how much they are learning about nuclear energy from this incident. Shame they won't need the information in their next life.

Not only would they have had to have another new pump on site- and if it was to be installed in a now higher rad environment (500ms/hr) I might buy that.

I dunno......

Damn good point

Keep your fingers and toes crossed....this could very well be THE event.

Is it time to bid adieu to the world, to take our final bows?

I know it's terrible, but it's kind of exciting.

If the pool water gets hot enough...any new pump will fail ......rapidly.

Toss in another EQ and well............umm

In a bad way

If it boils off enough water and ignites...this is it.

Lets try and get this pinned ...we need mass prayer

ill do the honors:

I have to go......

I will return this evening and hopefully everything is thumb sucking happy.....

LOL thx man

TEPCO should get the GIANT ASS SAW THING [link to www.facebook.com]

out there to chop this site up...hit it with a nuke or two and then drop some gigantic icebergs on top. Not necessarily in that order though...

The science gets done and they make a neat nuke plant for the people who are still alive.

Any updates?

It is inevitable that the spent fuel pool will come crashing down at some point. Whether the pumps go out now or later only determines how long the worst can be delayed. It is suspended in a building that is already damaged in an area under constant assault by significant earth quakes and nobody can get near the damn thing to fix it.

It's been over a year for crying out loud. They could have dumbed a mountain of boron and sand on that thing by now. The Japanese really are living up to their "death before dishonor" culture and it's going to get them all killed.

this is the last update i believe

{But experts say they’re worried about the pool’s anti-earthquake resistance despite ongoing reinforcement}
