Winds West to East
Looking at NHK weather report, winds are predominantly prevailing West to
East 10 to 18 km/h and not to expected to strengthen in the next 24 hours.
So hopefully the winds will blow some radiation out to the Pacific.
Cold front coming in and rain and snow predicted first in the west and later on the
east coast.
TEPCO report via NHK that as at 12:29 AEST, "half the rods are still exposed" on No. 2 and that "they cannot deny
that they may be melting".
TEPCO report radiation levels around the reactor reached 8 times legal levels for a person to be exposed to over one year.
It has since gone down and they are investigating "why the radiation levels are fluctuating so much".
Workers at No 2 that were asked to leave for safery reasons do not include those who are actively attempting to
cool the reactor.
