The reported Steam is much different than what we are seeing the your Video
A direct Link is not working, please look for
Go to Tepco:
1. Video for Press 2013 (fifth from the left Side)
2. "2013.08.06 (PM 12pm 25 .....) Steam found near near the central Part of the fifth Floor"

he “white, stringlike” material was found among thousands of spent fuel assemblies submerged in deep pools within the site’s L Area, according to a report filed by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, a federal oversight panel. “The growth, which resembles a spider web, has yet to be characterized, but may be biological in nature,” the report said.

I think what you see here could be this..Nuclear waste lint

That It's already forming says something about the gradation and time of this pollution I think?
And if this is some kind of biological substance then god knows what will be created when its getting mixed with other biological material that's on site.
I mean does radioactive material mess with the structure of Dna ? And what will that do on the long term of being exposed to it?
I really think this the most important thing the world to concern about.
It exceeds every problem we are facing Now!edit on 4-10-2013 by 0bserver1 because: (no reason given)
“The growth, which resembles a spider web, has yet to be characterized, but may be biological in nature,” the report said.
Savannah River National Laboratory collected a small sample in hopes of identifying the mystery lint – and determining whether it is alive.
In an April 23 presentation to the SRS's Citizen Advisory Board's Nuclear Materials subcommittee, Maxcine Maxted with Department of Energy noted advances that had been made in approaching, recovering and analyzing the bacterial growth located on the tops of the fuel bundles underwater.
“The cobweb material was collected by pumping it through bag filters on a cart located on zero level in the basin,” explained Amy Caver of DOE Public Affairs.
Maxted said that the bacteria would be killed before being studied. In previous, somewhat similar cases, such bacteria has been killed with hydrogen peroxide.
“Without the external nutrients, the bacteria cannot sustain themselves. Infrared from the measured levels of microbial diversity measured these requirements are currently being met. Sampling for organic carbon in multiple basin locations was unable to determine a definitive source of external carbon for the bacteria,” Caver said.
Not knowing the “food” source for these bacteria adds to the mystery.
For a corrosion precaution and to improve fuel bundle identification, the cobwebs will be removed from the fuel bundles by underwater vacuuming.
But, however the strands formed, they are posing no danger to the storage facilities.
“The cobweb material density has not noticeably increased since the original mapping in December 2011,” Caver said.

My first thought when I watched the video was steam / fog on a spiders web being blown around but as for the red thing, weird.
Most likely a hell of a lot more radiation than being admitted to and causing issues with the camera.
