Great screenshot! I'd call that spark an angled rainbow spark.
I confirmed the clock info for my equipment setup so it could be used more effectively. The camera clocks are probably set in a menu by some tech glancing at his watch. There is no doubt some delay before the raw data is released to the internet; now only available from Tepco site flowplayer.
angled rainbow spark is much better than just another fancy spark. I see a tricolor four dot spark, orange and blue with the two dots in the middle brightening to yellow. Angled rainbow is fine with me; like I just caught a tasty fish instead of a marker of radiation. Thing is though, I see more of the fancy sparks when the spark count goes up.
The cluster of four cam4 sparks in an hour on August 7th seemed a good time to do a cam1 spark count. When I grab the spark .bmps I name it with that camera time and a description. We would still be looking for a time difference of say 40 to 45 secs between a cam1 spark and a cam4 spark. The 1f at the end of the file name refers to tracking the ones that last a single frame rather than the normal two frames. The one frame sparks are usually brighter than two frame sparks. One of the distortions is marked 1f, actually lasted two frames, but was quicker than the normal distortion and recovery so I flagged it 1f.
