Oh great! There really were lots of debris clouds rolling off of where the crane was working, but for the moment it looks quiet again. Either the crane is working in the corner, or they are taking a break.

On the main Japan disaster thread, they have been following this increased activity since it started a few days ago. That's when I posted the UK-Reuters story (on the main Japan disaster thread) about Japanese government minister Hosono's statement that repair and removal of the spent fuel pool from Fukushima reactor 4 will start this year (instead of 2+ years on like he originally said).

The main thread is still working away, at a professional level, in fact. I've been working on an article about the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and at this point the government and TEPCO mismanagement is so vast (more and more radioactive rivers on Honshu) there's no endpoint in sight. Japanese Minister Hosono is still saying "10 to 20 years" for total cleanup, but it would be almost miraculous to get it done that quickly. There is also a huge profit motive there, (see the thread from "I, Cringely" from May 2012 that I added to the main thread a few weeks ago) which so far is apparently the main reason that some of the obvious clean-up tasks have been left undone. The other main reason for delay was identified early on by Michio Kaku, PhD, the theoretical physicist who is a faculty member at New York University: Some of the technology needed to clean up Fukushima Daiichi hasn't been invented yet.
