From TEPCO's morning press release:
Today's work for cooling the spent fuel pools
-At approximately 5:35 am, we started injecting seawater into the fuel
spent pool of Unit 3, using Fuel Pool Cooling and Filtering(clean up)
system (FPC).
-We are considering further spraying at other units and others subject
to the conditions of spent fuel pools.
As of 11:00 AM JST today, TEPCO graph showing no blackout block in effect--power demand holding at just over 3700 at peak during the 8am-11am rush, compared to 3400's yesterday. Wonder if they can ramp up the conservation tonight and avoid a blackout during the 4:00-10:00 peak hours too? Tepco still holding to potentially doing blackouts during those evening hours with a 2 hour notice.
Radiation levels for the most part continuing a gentle slope downward again today. No big movers--but areas close and to the south of Fukushima seemed to be slightly bigger movers at roughly a 4% move again.

I do not mean to come across dis-respectful, but do you think that when the servers come back online that the JP player base will cause blackouts to happen again? I mean with the t.v. & console's running plus the increase of bandwidth will be sure to draw a huge amount of power.
Just hope this does not cause more problems.(0)NightDagger

That is the big question...if TEPCO would just let the system do it's job and stop with the @#$@#$ blackouts....
The hydro plants and such ramp up their output when demand gets within a certain range of the supply--we saw that happen yesterday. For the longest time they've been saying potential supply is 36/37 MW... yet, last night, they managed to pull 38.5MW out of their @$$ somehow.
Methinks the power company is just holding out on everyone for fear of the grid going down I guess, which I can understand... but you need to test the limits somehow gdi.(0)Last edited by RAIST; 03-24-2011 at 12:12 PM.

powered up control center to #1's control center about 11:30 JST--looking foward to getting cooling systems going once they can get a fair assesment of the plant's systems/gauges. Unclear of just what their expectations for #1 are today until they know more of the plant's status.

WOW--they actually updated the blackout schedule for today already:
Group 5 (3:20pm to 7:00pm) and group 1 (6:20 to 10:00pm) were still in question earlier--now they are only planning to do it during the evening prime time from 6:20pm to 10:00pm.The planned rolling blackouts on 24 March (Wed) will not be implemented for Group 2 (6:20am to 10:00am, 1:50pm to 5:30pm), Group 3 (9:20am to 1:00pm, 4:50pm to 8:30pm), Group 4 (0:20pm to 4:00pm) and Group 5(3:20pm to 7:00pm). Rolling blackout will be implemented for Group 1(6:20pm to 10:00pm) .
Now.. if we could just get rid of that last one..... DOOOO EEEET!!!!!

I downloaded the latest earthquake data and did another pivot, this time looking at March 2011 quakes by date. The # of quakes is definitely going down. On the other hand, they've had a few fairly strong quakes (6.3, 6.4, 6.6) in the last 24 hours.
