TOKYO — Tokyo Electric Power Co is coming to the view that it will be impossible to stabilize the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant by the end of this year, senior company officials said Sunday, possibly affecting the timing for the government to consider the return of evacuees to their homes near the plant.

5/29/2011 | (VIDEO) Fukushima nuclear reactors not to be affected by Typhoon Songda
Source: CCTV
Date: 5/29/2011 video uploaded
BEIJING,May 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Typhoon Songda continued to move along the east coast of Japan on Sunday, causing travel disruption and hazardous conditions for commuters.Songda is Japan's second typhoon this year.
Strong winds and heavy rain thrashed Tokyo, causing flight disruptions at Haneda Airport. Warnings of landslides and flooding were issued in Kagoshima Prefecture early on Sunday, with some road closures. The typhoon is expected to move along the east coast through to Monday where it will weaken to a tropical storm. The troubled Fukushima nuclear reactors were not expected to be affected by the storm.

5/29/2011 | (VIDEO) Fukushima Day 80 **PROOF** of HIGH RADIATION levels during airflight...UP to 350 CPM!
Source: connectingdots1 YouTube channel
Date: 5/29/2011 upload date
From careful analysis of this video, the CPM (counts per minute) of the radiation meter (which appears to be a Radiation Alert 4 series analog Geiger counter, although the exact model number is obscured by the watch) does indeed rise to as high as about 350 CPM. The button on the right of the meter is set to X1 which means that reading the meter is straightforwards and doesn't require any multiplication of the meter's scale. 350 CPM corresponds to .35 mR/hr based on the scale on the bottom which goes from .1 mR/hr to .5 mR/hr. This is equivalent to 3.5 μSv/hr. To put this in to perspective, there is only one independent Ustream radiation meter I have noticed which gets in to whole numbered μSv/hr which is the meter in Iitate Village, Fukushima prefecture, Japan: the GM-Fukushima meter. The GM-Fukushima Ustream meter is positioned at a cafe in the open air outside. The other two Fukushima prefecture meters on Ustream do not exceed .5 μSv/hr (so far) and are indoors. For all three Ustream Fukushima prefecture meters on the same page, click on Fukushima/Ibaraki in the top navigation bar.

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant reactor 1 can be checked on a daily basis - such as water temperature, pressure dose of 5 items.
As soon as the data is published and updated as the chart.
No. 4 in the absence of inspections stopped reactor fuel assemblies for, are excluded from the list.
