The video is over 5 hours. I think I watched yesterday up to 4 hours. (You may need to register to view.)

Edited version (still over 3 hours) is here:

The net media (Yasumi Iwakami's IWJ and Nico Nico News) was in the Group B, along with the reporters and cameramen from the local Fukushima newspapers and TV stations.
Iwakami, and Nico Nico's Nanao (he's a cameraman) asked most questions to TEPCO people on the plant. The rest were pretty much content to just listen.
The moment I thought "Oh this is so stereotypically TEPCO" was when they were on the bus passing Reactor 3 turbine building. Someone was reading out the number off his geiger counter, "200 microsieverts/hour!" Then, TEPCO's PR person on board the bus as the guide said, "Oh, back there, it must have been 1,500 microsieverts/hour", or 1.5 millisievert/hour. So TEPCO tells the reporters after the fact, past the spot, to tell them the radiation level that high.

AREVA deleting a comment concerning the need to address the current International Standard will not make the issue go away. Rather it exposes this site as what was suspected... corporate funded.
It is more respectable for AREVA to lead this campaign than to be known as standing against it.
Ms. Brackett, instead of slandering the site admin with your baseless accusation, why don't you leave and start your own wonderful site about whatever standard you're talking about?
Wow I didn't know I'm corporate funded! Great! Where's the money? (Good grief.)
Then where is the comment I posted on this article which included the following on IS:
International Standards are from the 1970's when slide rules were in use. Todays IS is equivalent to using the standards from the 1970's on cholesterol levels, 1970's muffler releases and 1970's lead exposure rate.
For Japan to lower these limits is really a crime against humanity and against their own posterity.
Someone deleted it? It was not me.
So if it wasn't you it must be the site admin? Just go away somewhere else.
(I'm still waiting for my corporate sponsor. Oh where are you??)
@KSB
That is way off topic.
Anyway, that is so Tepco. "By the way, you just passed through a very hot spot but didn't notice." The least they could do is have someone at the front of the bus with a microphone announcing stuff like "Now we are passing through 1.5 mSv area due to some strontium on your left."
Arevamirpal, I apologize for the accusation; since the second post is still here. Just a heads up, some one hacked the first one.
@Chibaguy
Agreed but important to note and the first time I posted it the post also contained additional calculations on the 1,500uSv which were relevant to the post.
No one has hacked as far as I know. Google Spam filter. I don't think I have time to fish out what Google throws out, whatever reason.
Let me know when my corporate sponsor shows up.
Areva, first you are a Jesuit, now you are corporate funded. A couple of days ago you were da man and your articles were real science. Also a couple of days ago KSB was a Nuclear Fuel Services ass kisser.
>Also a couple of days ago KSB was a Nuclear Fuel Services ass kisser.
She still is, isn't she? I wish she just goes away.
I'd rather be a Jesuit or a Finn than being told I'm corporate funded without actual funding.
@5:40 PM, I presume so.
Aw fuck the toilet has backed up AGAIN !?!? Seem this stubborn floater won't go down without a lot of poking to break it up. Full of buoyant fetid gas.
Well, I still believe nuclear has an important role to play in space exploration. Although, solar certainly does have a role to play there as well. Plus, there is also nuclear medicine to consider and so many conceptual care aspects of medicine are nuclear related that it is hard not to be for it on some level. I certainly do not argue that more can be done to control it and it's use could be limited to best application. There is still a nuclear battery on the Moon after all. So, it has prospects.
Go away. No one wants to talk to you Brackett.
A nuclear battery on the moon that still works...space exploration...yes, worth destroying or prematurely altering life on our planet for...
She's single-handedly lowering the quality of the comment section of this blog. Not to mention insulting the site admin.
It does not help to just dismiss people.
If Karen Brackett has views that some disagree with, that is her prerogative and nothing is advanced by dissing her.
That said, this site is a real resource, so it is not constructive to dump on the site administrator if a comment is lost. It would be more helpful to donate a few bucks instead to allow the site to be better resourced.
"It does not help to just dismiss people."
Sure it does. The Finnish troll comes to mind.
It's like weeding. You don't ask the weed to behave.
Thank you netudiant =)
I do apologize to admin. Your note is well taken on Google which also explains when I Google search for EX-SKF it is not always easy to find. Google is a great service but it has some predictability issues or something going on? Anyway, I will try to limit my comments in future to the scope of the article. Good night all.
Finally made to skip through the looong video.
Really interesting to watch the men working on the crane of unit #4.
After 4:00:00 there are several zooms to there. The men actually don't seem to do anything except standing, walking and resting on the girder, watching the video team.
I am used to the staged shows that were common in the real socialism of the Soviet bloc that I experienced.
I actually had the feeling that these men's task was to make people think that it's already so safe there that's no problem to work and even to rest on the place that holds the biggest danger still looming - the dangling spent fuel pool of unit 4.
