Fukushima Reactor 3 on fire and smoking besides Gulf Oil Platform burning

The media of course is silent and most people believe Fukushima problems are history.

Here is a video from overnight at Fukushima. You can see the glowing fire and smoke coming from Reactor 3. That is of course the MOX fuel reactor. Here is my original post about MOX fuel.

A huge amount of radiation has been detected on the West Coast and other areas. Also the amount of radiated water that has gone into the Pacific has been in the millions of gallons.



Here is the live camera for the reactors. It does not show a fire any more.

Besides this there is a platform in the Gulf on fire and leaking oil at an estimated 6000 gallons a day besides natural gas.

OH... the media is all over that one too... informing everyone.

Multiple Earthquakes at Fukushima. Video of quake and fire. Are they Explosions at nuclear plant?

I had been looking at the Japanese quake site this morning and noticed many Earthquakes at Fukushima today and yesterday.  There are more listed on the site linked above.  Notice the size of these quakes.

Upon going to Fukushima Diary this morning they have very compelling information up about the 4.5 quake that happened yesterday and listed above.  Here is what they have up as the top story:

There is a lot of suspicion that earthquakes at Fukushima could be hydrovolcanic explosions or hydrogen explosions.
This afternoon again, an earthquake has hit the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. Its magnitude was 4.5

Look at this video from the TEPCO webcam - at the 1:55 minute the 4.5 quake hit, notice how fast it was - more like a reaction from an explosion compared to a quake.   Then watch the base of the tower (right side of screen) at the 3:45 minute mark - see the fire start in two places.  A purple haze on one side and a definite flame on the left side of the base.   The purple haze gets bigger as the time goes by.   There is some type of flashing happening too around the 6 minute mark by reactor 3 at the bottom corner of it.  Fog is around the base (it is slight, but watch it carefully and you will see it).

***Note*** Watch very carefully at the right of the tower at the 1:28 mark in the bushes - you will see a flame start before the quake.   (Fukushima noted this - on their site and you can see the flame before the quake.  It is not at the base of the tower though - look to the right of the tower.




All pictures below are from the Fukushima Diary site linked above and from TEPCO webcam after the "4.5 quake".

Yesterday TEPCO announced radiation at 70 Million becquerels per hour was being released from Fukushima.
