Even with scheduled blackout, power usage in the 9:00-10:00 range hit near 35/36MW--looks like they are going to have to continue them after all?

NISA press conference getting ready to start--they are passing out memos, should start soon.

Awesome thank you.

sea water testing had elevated levels of nuclides (cesium and others) exceeding acceptable limits close to the reactors so additional testing is in order.

3 reactors still need manual cooling efforts

Looking to use concrete sprayer to get water into reactor #4 as other vehicles are still focused on #3 and they may need to spray #1 some as well to suplement the internal cooling system.

power supply built to #2, but suspended efforts due to dark smoke coming out, automated systems not running yet. Waiting to assess state of systems before attempting to start.

Cable has been laid to #3 and #4, but no power to them yet.

#6 cooling still running on diesel generator, looking to connect it to electrical soon.

all in all, prety good news.

I love you raist! Keep the updates rolling!

So are they going to turn the servers on tonight or what? It's bad enough they've already broken their responsibilities by not having a back up plan to keep FFXI running. But now they haven't even given us an update yet as promised. Come on SE. I need to play FFXI.

It's only 10:45am tuesday, give it a little more time. ^^

Someone is addicted...

it is only 10:45 in Japan... they need to scope out the situation... as noted earlier, even with the blackouts peak power during the rush hour nearly capped out the supply.
