I just wish there was someone who can say 100%...I thought for sure there would be someone here who knows a lot about how radiation affects cameras etc....

It's a combination of water drops on the glass and light on the grass that's waving in the wind.
There is a Tropical system in the area affecting a large portion of the island of Honshu.

Oh, thats easy StealthyKat. Heres a video they took inside the reactor well at Fukushima. They work an endoscope camera into one of the reactor wells after the accident. The scene is one of water splashing around (the white streaks from the spraying system) rusty inner containment walls of the vessel, empty fuel racks, etc.
Covering the screen are the hits by gamma ray radiation upon the CCD chip inside the camera. It looks kind of like static. Note the difference between when they are moving thru the access pipe in the beginning and when the camera actually enters the Reactor Core Vessel. The "static" (radiation) jumps enormously. Just looking at the picture before running the video you can see the activity. Thats the nasty.
I have other stuff , will check back later.

all i know is the radiation spiked super high during the 2 weird camera events that i know of.
if it's just condensation etc. on the camera then it would be a common phenomenon. has anyone ever seen it happen in the same way? i haven't. (except the pool ghost thing)

Check my edit above. I'll add some more tomorrow. Satellites catch the same phenomenon from the sun. !
WOW that is just SCARY!

Been a very long time since I've posted. There is an effect called Cherenkov radiation that emits a blue/green glow from running reactors.
The thing about it though is that this is caused from charged particles passing through a dialectic medium, which is water in the case of reactors being submerged. I don't know how it's possible to have this effect with no medium around the reactors (I might be wrong) at Fukashima. Another possibility is that there are high amounts of radiation emitting from the cores and affecting the camera in some way. Kinda like the SOHO images with all the "scratches" and streaks of light in some pictures.
I'm no nuclear physicist, so take what I say with a grain of salt lol.

Cool! Thanks....I would like to see more videos if you have them....that's fascinating!
As the world continues to gaze with concern at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant, hi-tech security cameras installed by an Israeli defense firm are recording events at the troubled core from an insider’s vantage point.
The Arava-based Magna BSP company, which specializes in producing and installing stereoscopic sensory and thermal imaging cameras, had been contracted to place cameras around one of the plant’s six cores – the core that has been experiencing explosions and overheating.
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post on Monday, Magna’s head, Haim Siboni, said the thermal cameras also had the ability to detect the presence of radioactive clouds in the air, but added that Magna had not been able to gain access to the images recorded by the cameras at this time.
“Because we are using these special cameras, we can also identify radioactive clouds, due to the spectrum that our cameras can sense,” Siboni said.
Although Magna is able to gain remote access to its computer system, which receives the cameras’ images, Siboni said his company had not yet been authorized to do so.
“We have not been allowed to take control remotely yet,” Siboni said.
if it's not equipment problems or artifacts then this is exactly what it is and that isn't good at all
