Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Video of Inside the Reactor 1, 10/18/2011

[moonsaballoon1]

these men are hero's ...looks and sounds like Hell on earth...omg and somebody is seriously hurt in there, you can hear them in the background ...starts at around 02.00 ....watch this vid but with  translation 189 mili !!! at one point ..-Qs3jXPXeg0

at 13.00 i think they say 159msv maybe I'm wrong but...are they ok?

[kagatobi]

they are saying like 60msv, 70msv, 40msv, and piping look mostly ok.  if another quake hits while they are in...

[mazurkaawic]

great video thanks for posting it, it would be great if it would have some subtitles I'm curious to know what they are saying!

[myfkkingbush]

This is sick, I don't speak Japanese but I can feel their stress and fear. These people are true heroes without a name, sacrificing themselves for Japan and the rest of the world.

I think those white spots are water drops when light hits them. At chernobyl videos you can see white spots a lot becouse films react with radiation. I think digital cameras cant spot radiation like old film cameras.

[mrbsaeagle08]

@KillerJoeFIN Nope, nuclear engineer says that is definitely radioactive particles entering the camera

[BurningMice]

@KillerJoeFIN With Chernobyl the white you see is actually radiation eating away at the film used by the camera.

[t83rg]

@BurningMice As said before, white spots are strong gamma radiation hitting the CCD sensor of the camera. In same way that stuff is hitting those poor men's cells and their DNA. I would never go to place like that, but in same time I respect them for risking their lives.Someone has to do this.

[Xbow361]

is it me or is the camera being affected by the radiation with all the white little dots showing up in the pictures

[TylertheGeek28]

@Xbow361 it was covered the entire camera is, its to keep the camera from getting damaged the camera guy might have also had a plastic cover over him as well as wearing he radiation suit as for the spots there just dust radiation can be in the air and carry on with the dust if it was really radiation the edges of the picture would have like a black burn mark along the side they are also monitoring the radiation levels is it was unsafe they wouldn't be there and recording

[steve76384]

They put human workers inside the reactor to give the impression it is safer then it actually is. I bet these guys are already on their death bed. Damn the menipulations of a silent killer

[xygomorphic44]

If you look closely at the video towards the end, you'll notice these flashing white spots. That is high radiation affecting the CCD on the cameras. If you've ever seen that episode of mythbusters where they shoot radiation at the cockroaches, the same thing happens.

[survivalist1982]

@xygomorphic44 That happens on the international space station too. It's high-energy gamma radiation, comes from the reactor core not the contaminants. It is pretty bad in there but honestly I think many of the people in Tokyo walking around in the cesium dust are worse off than these guys spending 15 minutes in a high-gamma environment. These guys it's like they had a few hundred chest x-rays. Medical procedures are routinely administered in the states that expose patients to high 20 mSv gamma.

[mikeoxbig1414]

Wow. And they call this under control????

[pipitsua]

god bless them....

[dbnstrikeman]

The only way to sort this out is to use nano tech robots that can remove the radioactive particals one by one and the nano robots can transport the particals to containment. That is where all efforts should be focused on.

[TomatoHeadDendrobium]

The "Fukushima 50" is more than 50. They're doing good job.

But TEPCO management is really suck. Shame.

[arevamirpal]

@TomatoHeadDendrobium The workers (TEPCO employees) got maximum 9.44 millisieverts external radiation for their effort.
