Yeah, I found east of Futaba. It's 70km from the city of Fukushima.

Is this the plant?

Keep going up the coastline to the north...it is the next plant. It seems that there are two Futaba communities...zooming in you can see the damage. The image is dated 3/18/2011...the coordinates are 37^25'47.61"N 141^02'13.85"E....

the one thing that points to it not being anything other than a light is that you can't see anything during the day. it's big enough that you should still see light coming from it during the day if it's something bad. if it turns off at the same time every morning then it's a giant light.... which is what i really hope it is.

Exactly! I tried to find out if radioactive material can be seen at night, but not IN the light....but NADA so far. This could be an illusion after all, but I am still going to keep an eye on it....because....well....I'm 99% convinced....but that 1% keeps nagging me.

Afaik you cant see Radioactive Material with your blank Eye's
but you can see a big ongoing Fission Afaik

On the Tepco-Cam or the JNN/TBS Cam
you have no chance to see anything more harmful
than what we are seeing since the Tsunami,
they will turn off the Cam asap

my take on it .... please excuse my english, as it is my third language, so I might not always make sense...

I can understand the light if it is a hanging light, swaying in the wind, and very powerful. The bright line running down (and up) is standard for a CCD-sensor being overloaded by very bright source (called blooming). BUT, above that light, is this plume, that cannot be explained by me. I know lens flares, that we can see clearly in other parts of that picture, but that plume, that is what is unexplained to me. It seems as though there is some sort of a high-pressure steam vent in front of the light, that causes that plume, and if I mask the light out, the plume still keeps on changing as though it is steam or very hot air, or something, because it keeps on changing, even during the times the light stays constant. (I do deal (and have dealt) with image processing a lot, and photography, and optics, so I think at least I know how to get rid of lens flares, or other image processing artifacts). I cannot comment further on the light, but in my mind it is a light on a pole, or something that vibrates, (wind, or other tremors), that is highly focussed, and almost right in line of the lens, but behind that plume. I have done lots of image processing on hundreds of seconds on the videos, and can explain the light (IF it is mounted on a pole, or something that vibrates), but the onliest thing that is constantly there, but changing is that plume...
