DEVELOPING at 7:15 Eastern or about 8:15 Tokyo time... TEPCO has begun using colored dye powder in various water pools and sources at the No. 2 plant to confirm the routing of the contaminated water leakage. We'll keep an eye on that, as it is a positive step toward figuring out the complex interrelations that now exist between bodies of water in places they should not be, interrelating in ways they also shouldn't be able to due to cracks and failed pipe seals.
Apparently there is consideration being given again to surrounding the reactor buildings with new structures that would then be draped with some sort of fabric that would theoretically contain the contamination. Our initial reaction: Bad idea.
Further details as available, hopefully including some new plant parameters.
