[Hu's on First | Nuclear Crisis]
Another great Asian Week exclusive, never seen before 3D effect photos of Fukushima. As as kid I loved to look at 3D pictures, and people have remarked how nice it would be if they had 3D video or pictures. Turns out, if you take the helicopter video flying sideways, you can pick out a stereo pair as long as you are looking in the same direction from a few feet / seconds apart. A word of warning, the way to look at these is to cross your eyes until they merge but even I felt like I had radiation sickness and felt like upchucking after doing this for more than 10 seconds.
There is some dispute as to whether there is a black circular hole for the reactor well, which looks like that in the 2nd roof shot, but it might be an optical illusion of steam against the twin beams of the crane. The third shot is looking through the blasted east well of unit 3 at an empty equipment pool.

Crowd Sourced Scribble Live Photos
The group that I found Nancy Foust in has a remarkable photo collection that has been completely ignored by TEPCO and the press with some very good theories of what blew up where here: http://www.poudreinternetservice.com/photographs.html
Here is a photo with the theory that since nobody can spot where the bus-sized refueling platform went, it might be the bus-sized thing seen falling from the sky and the bus-sized object that appears to be poking through the giant hole in the roof of the next door turbine building. The other clue is that the size of the hole is about the size of the spent fuel pool, and the “bus” is sized to straddle the fuel pool, so it should make about the same sized hole. Again, no hydrogen gas explosion is going to send a object of that size into the air, and nothing that big is going to leave fuel rods just under the water intact either.
Unit 3 Refueling Bus Hit Turbine Building Roof?
Flight path of Unit 3 Refueling "Bus"
This shows that the size of the object in the hole in the roof IS about the size of a bus or a big truck:

This drawing points to large yellow “shrapnel” bits. The only big yellow thing anybody has seen is the reactor cap which is SUPPOSED to be safely on top of the reactor. But if there’s a big hole where the concrete manhole plug is supposed to be, and it blew up into little bits, then that would explain these yellow things. Of course, you can assume that nobody at TEPCO has even noticed, let alone examined any of this debris. As far we know, they’re just shoveling all the debris into little blue boxes as if it was sweeping up dust bunnies into a dustpan instead of treating it like a crime scene and figuring out what the hell happened and how. They’re official story is still that “the roof was damaged” rather than “building was blown to hell, state of reactor well and fuel pool unknown but we’re sure it’s probably fine”.

Coast to Coast: Two or Three explosions
I don’t know if I was first, but another fellow heard the sound track and concluded that there must have been at least two explosions, a hydrogen blast, then a prompt critical, and then a steam blast. Chernobyl had two blasts, it went up 1000 m into the sky

He believes increasing temperatures and effort to spike the cooling water with boron means the reactor is still fissioning, and that there needs to be a level 8 accident which is consistent with 3 reactors with cores still melting down, 4 spent fuel pools with problems, and a need for an immediate international response with special equipment rather than relying on a soon-bankrupt local power company to handle it. This will be going on for at least another year, or years. US networks are simply not covering the crisis perhaps through US pressure from the Obama administration (which happens to be buddies with “our reactor performed beyond expectations great” General Electric) to promote nuclear power.
Here is the “connecting dots” blog with a pretty good report from Canada. What the world needs is somebody paid full time to produce a daily news report of what in tarnation is going on at Fukushima, all we have a dozens of little blogs and bloggers digging this stuff up. He’s pretty much to the point and objective even though he does post a 9-11 conspiracy video or two on his channel.

Whose measuring Krypton 85 in the oceans surrounding Japan? Add to the Fukushima disaster, the growing catastrophe of Krypton 85 and Xenon being released in massive amounts from Rokkasho because JNF didn’t want to spend the money to prevent the escape of these deadly forms of radiation and you have a civilization in rapid decline.
This 2008 article about the Rokkasho reprocessing plant in Japan, is prophetic when one ponders the extent to which what’s really going on in Fukushima is mostly withheld from the public.
http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/japans-nuclear-waste-will-spill-from-new-plants-chimney/2008/04/25/1208743246473.html
“Japan Nuclear Fuel acknowledges that to guarantee the plutonium cycle, the plant will need to pump out as much radioactive material in one day as an ordinary plant generates in one year. But instead of trapping the waste, the plant will release most of it from a 150-metre tall chimney directly into the yamase ocean winds that travel inland over the farming communities of Aomori Prefecture. The rest will be conveyed through a pipe 3 kilometres out into the ocean, into the path of currents bound for shore.
“There will be sufficient dispersion and dilution so that the yearly exposure to radiation for the public will be just one one-hundredth what people are ordinarily exposed to in the natural environment,” a spokesman for the company told the Herald. “And by reusing spent fuel rather than disposing of it, we’re saving resources in a safe way.” Some in the scientific community, such as Haruki Madarame, a professor in nuclear-safety engineering at Tokyo University, vouch for the claim.
Others are not convinced. Hiroaki Koide, an assistant professor at Kyoto University’s Research Reactor Institute, points out that because the quantity of liquid contaminants flushed into the ocean will be so great, Japan Nuclear Fuel has been allowed to bypass ordinary rules for regulating radioactivity levels in matter before release. Instead, he says, it has used an ad hoc equation, made up of assumptions and manipulated figures about the rate of dispersion of radioactive materials in water, to guess at the effect on humans.
His own calculations, on the other hand, show that “the krypton-85 the Rokkasho reprocessing plant will release each year will contaminate the whole world and … will give rise to a global radiation dose [that] works out to 130 cancer deaths each year”.
A report in February by British environmental radiation expert Dr Ian Fairlie, commissioned by Greenpeace, found cancer fatalities could reach 370 a year.
The decision by the plant, Professor Koide argues, to release contaminants such as krypton-85, tritium and carbon-14 into the air rather than invest in technology to trap and contain them – “just because they don’t want to pay the costs involved – [means] they are committing a premeditated crime”.”

The plant operators JNFL plan to release all of the radioactive Krypton-85 contained in the spent fuel of Japanese utilities. The current planned release from the discharge chimney is 330,000 TeraBequerels each year of operation. At this level of discharge Rokkasho-mura will be releasing the largest amount of Krypton-85 of any reprocessing plant operating in the world today such as the British Nuclear Fuels plants at Sellafield or the two la Hague plants operated by Cogema. In fact no reprocessing plant in history, including military plutonium plants in the United States or Soviet Union, have discharged this amount of Krypton-85 on an annual basis.
Japan’s plutonium program has collapsed with no demand for the vast stocks it already owns. Rokkasho-mura will add a further 100 tons of plutonium by 2020 if it is permitted to operate. Time is running out to stop this plant. In less than 6 months tests using uranium are due to be conducted which will contaminate the plant.
After the Tōhoku earthquake in March 2011, the plant ran on emergency power provided by backup diesel generators.[10] The emergency generators were not intended for long-term use.[11] Reportedly there are about 3,000 tons of highly radioactive used nuclear fuel stored in Rokkasho at current, that could overheat and catch fire if the cooling systems fail. Japanese radio reported on March 13 that 600 liters of water leaked at the Rokkasho spent fuel pool.] According to The New York Times, grid power was restored on March 14, 2011.]
The 7 April aftershock caused the loss of grid power again until the next day.

“Operation Crowflight was highly visible but its purpose was highly secret and was known to only a handful of Australian officials.
“The fact that krypton-85 sampling is a method of detecting clandestine nuclear programs is well known so it’s hard to see why this has to remain security classified in Australia to this day apart from a desire by the Australian and US departments of defence not to admit past disinformation.”
Dr Dorling says that after 40 years, Crowflight provides a good illustration of the hidden dimensions of the Australia-US alliance.
“Behind the press releases and communiques issued by government ministers and officials, there is the critical realm of clandestine intelligence collection and exchange,” Dr Dorling says.
“To a large degree this is the real bedrock of the alliance, cloaked in secrecy and disinformation, and any true understanding of our relationship with the United States must take these elements into account.”
