Yesterday they dumped water over the critical Reactor #3 in Fukushima #1 power plant. They also got got a diesel generator up and running for Reactors #5 and #5 so they can now pump water into the spent fuel rod storages there.

There are news reporting that the water dumping was successful and that radiation has dropped. Which for the moment sounds good and is at the least an improvement from yesterday’s news 🙂

There is also a plan to reroute power from a TEPCO power transmission line. If successful they may be able to get the cooling system and pumps going so that reactors as well as spent fuel rod storages can get the so needed water for cooling and to contain the radiation. It is estimated to be finished at earliest during today’s afternoon.

It looks a little bit more hopeful that yesterday. I think Chie’s and my plan to do emergency packing is working… You know how it is, if you bring an umbrella it never rains 😉
