This is indeed good News now they can get all the reactors cooling systems going and then get down to the real work of cleaning up and assessing the total damage without having to worry about meltdown every min.

03-22-2011 11:57 PM #223Yeah my Mother in-law works at Toyota plant in Ontario. She said the "official" notice from Toyota in Japan is that On March 28th they plan to power up for 8 hours to perform proper maintenance of machinery. Once all maintenance is complete they plan to run 1 shift for first week of operation to provide stock for international factories. After their first week if the power situation has improved the will resume operation at a normal capacity, but if the power is not restored they will be shutting down again to allow the power to be used else where.

Yeah.. hopefully Nissan follows too. They fired up several divisions just to produce parts and were planning to start vehicles on the 24th, but that may change too.

This is from an article already a couple days old(3/19) at GaijinPot,. Don't recall seeing it mentioned in the news streams:
Construction of some 200 temporary housing units started Saturday in the coastal city of Rikuzentakata in Iwate Prefecture, which was severely damaged in the mega earthquake and tsunamis.
The 30-square-meter prefabricated houses capable of accommodating two to three people will be built on the grounds of a junior high school. A date for completing construction has yet to be set.(0){DISCLAIMER} Posts may contain opinions based on personal experiences that are not be meant to be taken as facts.

got cutoff from Ustream this afternoon, then got called to go revive laway system after power outage at mother's store--Stupid UPS Battery was hosed and no one replaced, some idgett just silenced the warning and never ordered a new battery. Database in an inconsistent state. Thankfully I wrote a batchfile that ran a dump to a USB drive at 6pm each night--so I just took the easy way out and they had to redo all activity that morning after restore. Don't like tinkering with someone's homebrew apps if I can avoid it. Hope someone learned a valuable lesson today about the value of their @#$@#$!@#$ UPS.
Anywho... TEPCO has released a nice recap of their powerstation events up to yesterday. Good read for new members that want a bit of a rundown on what's been going on in one shot. It also includes a little info on the Dai Ni station and Kashiwazaki nuclear sites and some of their non-nuclear facilities:
http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp...1032218-e.html
Radiation levels seam to be holding or showing a slight improvement. Outlying levels are still basically the same as yesterday, but areas closer to Dai Ichi have seen roughly a 10% drop in the last 24 hours. Ibaraki is back under 1k again, but still a way to go from the 600/700 range it was 3 days ago. Progress is still progress I guess.
They're still getting shaken up a good bit over there, lots of short shocks in the 4-6 magnitude ranges,:tamegoeswild Ouch! RT @KyungLahCNN JMA says that last aftershock was a 4.1. Not strong, but strong enough to hit my head against the wall and wake me up!
6 minutes agoUstream is still not streaming NHK yet, so had to go to the NHK site, but it looks like they are rerunning the same info (or the same type of stories at least as this morning):JRNHeadlines 6.0 #earthquake in southern #fukushima just inland from nuclear plants. No #tsunami alert.

Haven't been going to their site b/c I liked being able to load Ustream directly in my player with no browser load. Broke down and I lifted the NHK's direct paths to the ASX streams though, in case you want to just load the stream in your media players too without loading the whole web page.
If you use these links, you may get prompted to open/save them--just open them and it should load in your default player (Windows Media, VLC Player, etc). Kinda nice to have it runing in a small box off to the side so you don't have to keep tabbing back to it to watch while browsing the web... heheh:
