Maybe it's Harry and Ron or Frodo and Sam hiding underneath their invisibility cloak. TEPCO really can't do anything about that now!

Tepco, they lie just to keep in practice.
It's probably where it's leaking water now.

we would all like to see what is behind curtain #4. I looked at all of there photos and I see a number of large cracks in the wall's. I don't see any water on the ground near the "cover-up" photo. There is obviously something there they do not want us see. Hmmmm

Can't even do that right, can they? Maybe they should hire a 10 year old as Photoshop consultant.

They messed up and hired the same team that Photoshopped the BP Command Center during the GOM disaster.

They say this proves the soundness of unit 4 building? really, then why doctor the photo if it's so "sound", a odd choice of word's. Sounds like a crock of s$%*!

Perhaps, jebus, the greatest minds in the nuclear industry realize they are more likely than not dealing with an extinction level event, and given the greed and all pervasive corruption wihin said industry, also realize that 'change' for the better will not happen in a timely manner. In other words, humanity, itself, is a lost cause: doomed to self murder. What else would one expect from a species hell-bent on raping, torturing and murdering its own children (contrary, I might add to GOD's own directive as found in the Holy Bible, Book of Luke, C.9, V.46-48)?

I mean, don't get me wrong: I totally appreciate enenewsers attempting to save the world, themselves and loved ones included. Indeed, I applaud such efforts. After all, multimillion life forms are threatened by human arrogance, stupidity and evil. And, I would never discourage such efforts; my motto being 'do not go gently into that night, rage, rage against the dying of the light'. However, as you all know, there are limits to hope, optimism…I mean, eventually, one may have to confront the reality of the situation. No?

There are many pictures. Remember the one on the video on the Japanese TV station. There was much discussion on enenews as to whether or not the SFP #4 was already gone.

Just a thought, but since reactors identical to Fukushima exist across the country, there may be some photos of another plant that display the equivalent part of the building. Then one could at least see if there is typically some important structural or functional component there that has likely been destroyed/damaged at Fuku.
However, I agree with those who suspect that it's just a place where there's a massive bulge or crack in the wall that undercuts TEPCO's claims about the building's structural integrity. This photoshop blotch is another reason to suppose that the #4 building has about as much integrity as the company that owns it.

Am I correct in supposing that the SFP is under that green crane-like thing on the upper left section of the photo–so that at least whatever is there is not right next to or beneath the fuel pool?

The upper south-eastern corner of the building seems quite collapsed, right over the famous crack-line.

U.S. and other countries are not taking responsibility while constant re-criticality is happening. Dialog needs to be opened (for the first time) in this deadly matter.
Putting off the dialog might slow a grand exodus of Japan and America, but will not stop it. Wish I was wrong. I so do.

Remember when a few of us were quite interested in what was described as "fire" behind unit 4?
I think some of the nuclear material from the spent fuel pool spilled there..and burned.

The fire might have been near or on top of the SFP, but it wasn't the SPF in its entirety because if it was the site would be clear of humans, all SPF and reactors would be cooking away spewing radiation in all directions, Japan would be evacuated, and progressively every unmanned abandoned reactor throughout Japan would be doing a Fuku too.
We've seen video from within SPF4, and while there is some physical damage from debris dropping from above there is no sign of tops of fuel assemblies melted or otherwise damaged by intense heat.
Remember once the uranium zirconium fuel assembly fire starts water does not put it out, it just adds oxygen and hydrogen to the fire – unstoppable.
Of course, the fact that all that has not happened yet is increasingly a case of luck as the clock ticks down to the next big aftershock or the next failed pipe or pump. Utter madness.

I agree, there was an event that caused some damage, but they managed to get it under control.

Protecting themselves from the world blaming them and/or the hidden hands behind their decisions. Japan had a lot of help from their friends(?) to build 54 nuclear plants on a volcanic arc, including taking on everyone's extra (MOX) fuel! The gravity of the continuing radiation releases is something leaders are afraid of, due to panic and a dearth of solutions. The ludicrous excuse of hiding info for 'panic' is pathetic, unless you are protecting a group of 5 yr. olds from a harsh reality. World leaders would have to stop bickering and killing each other to make a complete about face on all their plans to become a global, nuclear Santa Claus, on the take for billions of dollars. I don't want to say what kind of roast this should be (he he) but we are all roasting together. R4 is boiling as far as I can see, maybe burning too. Wasn't the previous black dust that turned out to be cyanobacteria or laden with algae anyway, from R4 burning, while they struggled to get water in the sfp? The ground-wall patch does look fake, especially since the party line said the R4 explosion was below the sfp (unlike the explosion in R3), so you'd expect mangled walls, low down. Notice they never show the other two sides of R4. Please Tepco, we'd like to know there are more than two walls on R4 – Thank You! Stop Photoshopping reality. We are all adults here.
