Seems to be a follow up to an earlier report indicating spike in conditions of reactor 1 that started on March 8th.

To see chart of sv/hr here:

PS: the chart link should be the English version. It starts by displaying in Japanese and converts in a few seconds on my old computer.

Just sprinkle on your toast, or radioactive death :)

Yikes. I said March 8th and should have said the spike started on April 8th.

Wonder why the Reactor #1 chart stops on April 8th. The others continue to April 20th.

Here is a list of the aftershocks from the 7th to 9th.

Looks like that 7.4 aftershock caused problems in #1. Was the strongest aftershock I think. Report from April 8th.

Latest jolt tests other nuclear plants, but no leaks

But the temperature inside reactor 1's core surged to 260 degrees at midnight Thursday from 223 as of 7 p.m. before the aftershock. The cause of the rise was not immediately known, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.

The temperature went down to 246.6 as of 1 p.m. Friday, according to NISA.

Which “fuel” is my question.......

Its already known there are issues with the “spent fuel pools” in several units. They are probably responsibe for much of cadmimum discharge seen.......

Not familiar with these units as built. Pure water can’t “carry” any radioactivity. That comes from impurities introduced by the plant/operations. Adding sea water - with all of its burden of life/solutes increases the liklihood of increased contaminants/rad levels. >JH

No worries, mate. Radiation is good for you.

It must be true because I read it on the internet (FreeRepublic).
