Looks like something went down while I was /away the last hour or so:

NISA confirms it has been required to open SRV (Safety Release Valve) on unit 3 to release pressure; will pause plans on firefighting

---

Quote:

---

(info came from TBS) reminder : opening those valves has been common practice since day 1; better not, but no "end of the world" either...

TEPCO to open vent on plutonium reac #3, never done before. Highest rad to go into air. NHK

---

Plans to start again continuous dousing this afternoon (from 18h) pending on evaluation of new situation (release valve opened at unit 3)

We repported earlier that option 1 to release pressure was "supression pool" within reactor building; Tokyo U prof says it may be full

---

Quote:

---

Just checked out BWR details on supression pool; it's normal it fills up as long as ECCS operation isn't restored; need electricity for it

---

(guess this is why they are so determined to get power to the pumps)

Quote:

---

ECCS is Emergency Core Cooling System, and uses water from supression pool to spray/fill the core; H2O gets back to the pool as steam

---

Quote:

---

NHK: Release of gas from reactor #3 without going through supression chamber may increase radiation in area temporarily by 10X or so

---

Quote:

---

TEPCO to release steam again to relieve rising pressure in No.3 reactor vessel; work to restore electricity, spray water to be suspended.

---

Think I'm just gonna watch the TokyoPost feed from now on... too much chatter about Libya everywhere, their twitter feed seems to still be more focused on JP.

Dude...you understand that they are giving us information, right?
You're either a troll or lacking brain-power.
Hopefully, the first.

you obviously haven't been on the forums long... might want to read the entire thread sometime. But, welcome to the party.

In my experience with any game on any forum, petitions are very pointless and never matter. You all can sign a petition to change the game mechanics, and even with 100 percent player base agreeing to it, they dont have to listen to a single thing, and almost 100 percent of the time, in my experiences, petition threads are just fail in the long run.

but you are far more likely to get results from a more organized, civalized, serious presentation of 100-200 on-topic posts versus a 1200 post flamefest that skews off-topic regularly.

So raist did they get some power restored to some reactor's as u previously stated or did that all change?

what server u from raist?

they were looking to have pumps in 1 & 2 up today--one was damaged and needed repairs.. forget which one. I've been bouncing around so much.. I forget the exact details. 5 and 6 pumps are going and they've cooled to tolerable levels. Radiation readings near the site has had 800 point drops in some locations, but they are still too high--they can't even spend much time in the main operations building just yet.. Those Fukushima 50 teams are simply amazing.
