Quick Facts:
- There is estimated to be almost 10 billion pounds of disaster debris in Iwate Prefecture alone.
- Amounts for Fukushima and Miyagi Prefectures were not reported.
- If possible, debris will be burned. If not burnable, it will be buried.
- The burning will continue for at least 2.5 years, until March 2014.
- Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen says that by burning the radioactive debris “we are basically recreating Fukushima all over again“.
- Gundersen also says the radioactive clouds will continue across the Pacific to the west coast of the US and Canada.

Nuckelchen, thanks for posting the movie. Very well done. Reposted to get the word out.

7-29 Spark count average rate of 20 sparks an hour showed some slowing of activity from the 7-27 rate of 30 sparks an hour. Fuku fog activity seemed a little less too. Its a lot easier to count when there's less of them.

Sparks

@Cali, I couldn't see any lightening or brightening in the cam1 or cam4 recordings, no help. They know what to keep out of cam views and keep us guessing.

Hi Horse – I noticed there've been less sparks too, suppose the heavy toxic saturated atmosphere is suppressing them. Graphs look good
First time seeing a double spark with different colors, nice catch http://postimg.org/image/5nck8gakr/
I saw one on 7-29 during the fog-out

Thanks for checking out Nuckelchen's video to see any flashes, they're pretty faint.

I saw the flashes you found in Nuck's vid too. Don't have anymore than you do. Lovely lavenders, the colors in the saturated sky show just how yuk that air must be. Teri does a good job documenting those colors. ChargedBarticle used to post pictures of dawn skies back when it was mostly pink and I'd know someone was there watching. All the TEPCO 'look like we're busy' must mean more news coming, yet they couldn't seem to do much last month. Got Nuck's link waiting to go.

the vids from Fuk Daiichi channel (x60 speed up) also have occasional color shift on the screen. Big magenta blocks where camera adjusts or something, not sparks.

mt1000, I guess it could just be from something in the time lapse. Seen the big blocks caused by buffer underruns. At times I see block distortions when lightening strikes and at suspected high rad events, guess EM effects the cams. When the time lapse only catches part of it, might cause a sudden flash. Don't trust the timelapse to tell the whole story.

You know, I saw lots of sparks or flashes(and posted about it here) when it was snowing in the early days(2011/2012 winter) before they moved the webcam to the current CAM1 position. I tried to capture the flashes..thought it might be radiation particles reacting to water droplets or snow. I mean a LOT..like one for every 10 snow flakes.

From BBC, here is a photo of what we saw lifted off in the webcam/CAM1 the other day. Good image of that 'lift attachment' we have been seeing hanging from cranes over the past months..

Note cam the holes in the 'tent'–on the opposite side from CAM1. Might be all over, but clearly seen on the ocean side of building roof. On purpose..or is this from 'accidents'..?? Cant think they vented the roof like that.

CAM1 has crane working over Reactor 1. It picked up a block/container of ?? and then dumped it into the roof opening. Time is 06:30 8-1-2015 JST time. CAM 4 is usual view, nothing seen other than the usual emissions around the buildings. Reactor 4/Unit 4 building looks to have more pixels active on the left side than usual–in the dark greyed out rectangle areas.
Last night, saw on JNN what look to be more (and new) water tanks in the area of the bright lights at base of Reactor 2/Unit 2 and Reactor 3.

CAM1 over Reactor 2 building, just above roof on left side, a small dark area in the sky close to the roof. Artifact on the lense maybe? Its showing pixels.

08012015 19:42 JST time. CAM1 is hazy, lots of emissions (white solid) on right side of screen over Reactors 3/4. Looks like a single white object(light?) over the Reactor 3 building in the far distance. Looking at CAM4, south view towards the other buildings, there is haze, and a blue color to the air on the left side. Lighting of the buildings as usual.
Futabagun webcam shows dry roads, highly lighted sky over Fukushima,and a small red globe in the sky midway up at 19:50. At 19:54, it was gone. Have image will post it.
JNN shows a dirty brown haze all over, and very dim buildings.Nasty to look at.
Yes, I post alot of uninteresting comments. BUT…
