Chicago Storm Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Live shots from NHK/Japan-TV confirm white smoke coming from #3 reactor. It's hard to tell given sh*tty camera zoom/resolution, but it looks like all that's left is the skeleton of the structure. Just like what happened with #1 reactor yesterday.

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I can't help but feel anguish for the employees who are still working at those plants. Are they suicide workers like at Chernobyl? (not trying to compare the 2 events themselves) Would they be able to predict that a hydrogen explosion would occur (02 LEL levels or something?)

ThePhotoGuy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 that looks bigger than the other tho i guess its hard to tell Seems the smoke is darker than the other explosions. The other explosions smoke was lighter. Usually lighter/whiter smoke is when it comes in contact with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 ^^ Yeah right. Well, we used to use meters at my old job that would be able to detect when a certain threshold of explosive vapors was being approached. This was a while ago and not that big of a deal. They know it would be giving off hydrogen and I would think they could measure the levels? Just wondering. If people were in that blast they would be doomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkrangers Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Live from NHK on CNN. Damage looks worse to #3 than #1, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looks like the same kind of explosion. Building looks a bit more damage than the other one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtRosen Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 They're talking about new smoke from unit #1. Damage is much worse than the earlier explosion at unite #1 at unit #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Seems the smoke is darker than the other explosions. The other explosions smoke was lighter. Usually lighter/whiter smoke is when it comes in contact with water. the first was briefly pretty brown. this looks like it was more intense by the almost mushroomy cloud appearance.

CT Rain Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looks like the same kind of explosion. Building looks a bit more damage than the other one though.

If people were in that blast they would be doomed It certainly can be measured, but who knows what their capabilities are now. Don't know if they have personnel in the plants, or if they even have power to run fixed meters, or if they even have monitoring equipment.

ArtRosen Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yeah but that probably doesn't say anything about whether or not the containment vessel is in tact or not I certainly hope not.
