Question for BRAWM Team - Nitrogen injection
***Please do not respond to this post unless you are BRAWM Team Member.***
Is it correct that nitrogen injection will displace whatever gases are currently in the containment structure? Do you expect to see an increase in radioactive isotopes from Japan due to this activity?

Nitrogen gas injection begins at Fukushima plant
The operator of the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says it has begun injecting nitrogen gas into the containment vessel of one of the reactors.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says the injection is aimed at preventing hydrogen from exploding inside the containment vessel at the No. 1 reactor.
TEPCO says the injection will continue for 6 days. The company is also considering making similar injections in the No 2 and No3 reactors.
The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency warns that the nitrogen gas injection could cause gases including radioactive substances to leak outside the reactor containment vessel.
Just popping in for a minute to say...
...If you're interested, please take a look at a synopsis of the latest IAEA status report I posted earlier today at the FaceBook Group, DEMAND U.S. GOV'T. ACTION & ACCOUNTABILITY RE: ONGOING JAPAN NUCLEAR EVENT. I may have it wrong, so, please consider the source -- I am no expert, just trying to make sense of things.
It's the post with an embedded link titled: "Fukushima Nuclear Accident Update Log", it has about ten Comments on it so far (some of the earliest of which are my summaries / explanations / observations).
I'm trying to limit my contributions here, I don't want to become a distraction again.
Hope everyone's doing well, and as always, my profound and heartfelt thanks to the UCB Lab scientists.
