They wanted to keep the nuke algae from swirling around too much and increase visibility.

I have no idea what the numbers mean re temperatures, was hoping someone knowledgeable would post and help explain...
If they're 'recycling' pictures I can only guess it's because they don't want the current situation photographed which I would presume is because it's not 'pretty'... good eye!
TEPCO: Switch mix-up blamed for wastewater trouble
The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says workers' selection of the wrong switches was the likely cause of highly contaminated water being sent to the wrong facilities last month.
Tokyo Electric Power Company investigated the incident.
On April 13th, it was discovered that 4 pumps that were supposed to be offline had sent about 200 tons of tainted water into the basement of a facility known as the Incineration Workshop Building, instead of into temporary storage.
TEPCO's investigation found that contaminated water had also flowed into another facility. Officials say the pumping appears to have started on March 20th.
They say workers are suspected of having turned on water pumps instead of air conditioners.
Officials say the switches for the pumps and air conditioners were on the same control board. The switches were reportedly numbered, but were not clearly identified.
The officials ruled out any leak of the wastewater from the facilities because no change was seen in the levels of radioactive substances in nearby well water.
The utility says it has taken preventive steps by labeling the switches at the plant.

does anyone in their right mind think that fuku , being AT LEAST THREE AND MORE LIKELY FOUR TIMES WORSE THAN CHERNOBYL be any less than that in either effect or cost?

Now consider Chernobyl...over two and a half decades after the "incident" ( which was handled a thousand times more professionally and effectively than fuku ) they STILL have to build a 1.6 BILLION dollar ( US ) containment .
More than 3,000 evacuees die since 3/11 disaster
An NHK survey has found that the number of evacuees who have died from poor health since the 2011 disaster has topped 3,000.
NHK asked local authorities about the deaths of evacuees as of the end of March. Most victims are believed to have died due to poor health brought on by the fatigue and stress of moving to temporary shelters.
The survey found that 3,076 people have died in 10 prefectures. The number rose by 388 from last year's figure.
More than a half of all the victims are from Fukushima Prefecture. The number of people who died from poor health was 88 more than those killed by the quake and tsunami.
Many of the Fukushima victims are from municipalities near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
