0134: The tremor struck off-shore 140km (87 miles) north-east of Tokyo, shaking tall buildings in the capital but the authorities did not issue a tsunami alert, AFP reports. It had a depth of 18km, the US Geological Survey says. www.bbc.co.uk

Hmm...It's hard to provide links for some messages, those they come from the live of NHK, FNN and TBS. And others come from WNN (http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS_Venting_at_Fukushima_Daiichi_3_1303111.html), Kyodo (http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2011/03/77515.html) and WNA from Twitter.

I mentioned earlier several times that the spent fuel pool/casks neede to be addressed, and was assured by others that if it wasn't reported to AEIA, them there wasn't a problem. Now the end of AEIA's latest statement mentions them querying about fuel storage situation. So, I'll mention again that the status of Japan Nuclear Fuel's Rokkasho facility in Aomori Prefecture should be of grave concern. It is on the port of Ogawara. It is a spent fuel, radioactive material storage site, and an enrichment facility. Cannot Reuters confirm that it's ok?

U.S. helicopters report radiation 60 miles out nyti.ms

@blyndndef Water is leaking out from either the piping or the vessel, hence they can't stabilize water level. Also, the venting valve is supposed to be a motor-operated valve, but they are having to manipulate it manually. That is slower, and dangerous for the nuclear power operator(s) who have to do it. If it "sticks" more, could cause a big problem for venting heat and/or hydrogen.

Reading this article: I am shocked! but surely it would be much more benficial and safer just letting the things melt down into the 'safe' desgned containment? without really conspiring It seems the containment may not do it and this is why they dont want to let it meltdown. They let TMI (Three Mile Island) meltfown did they not? link again here: www.nytimes.com
