Black smoke was observed at unit 3; this forced workers to evacuate and terminate their efforts to recover power to this unit. The reason for the smoke is not yet known.
A high radiation level (500 millisieverts) was detected at unit 2, making work at the unit very difficult.
(Previous days' reports below that, plus some essays free to non-subscribers are available.)
50 RADS/hr emissions, though unstated is Where in Unit 3, like -?- the control room or 2" from the primary enclosure?
The beat goes on.. with UNIX MAN-style factoids emitted sans elaboration. Confidence-inspiring.
