A Lot of Red and Green Visible on TEPCO Cam 1


This screenshot was taken 2/8 at 4:07 (TEPCO time stamp). I see "red" and green coming from the vicinity of units 3 and 4 (cannot determine actual source). The red is coming from the top of the unit on the far right:




I can only post two large screenshots but the flickering red persisted and I captured the area with and without out it in subsequent screenshots across a 5 minute period.

I think emissions are high and especially hot. It looks as if its been raining on the Futaba cam. Perhaps the rain causes the melted fuel lying around to fission. I reached this hypothesis after reading recently at NHK that the water injected by TEPCO during the early days of the disaster actually promoted, rather than reducing, fission activity (Hat Tip Enenews.com):
