According to Geological survey of Japan and the Maritime Safety Agency, the new volcanic island has absorbed the neighboring main island and still keeps growing.

At the moment of 5/21/2014, it’s already 86 times large as when it was found for the first time last November, 5 times large as the main island before the eruption.

 

It has been 6 months, but there is no sign to slow down. Prof. Nogami from Tokyo Inst. of Technology comments they need throughout research to identify what makes it keep erupting continuously.

Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii is famous for its continuous eruption but the underground structure is different from Japan.

Selon Geological survey of Japan et la Maritime Safety Agency, La nouvelle île volcanique a absorbé la principale île voisine et continue de grandir.

Au 21 mai 2014, elle était déjà 86 fois plus large que ce qu’elle l’était lorsqu’elle a été découverte en novembre dernier, 5 fois plus grande que ce qu’était l’île principale avant l’éruption.

Ça fait 6 mois et il n’y a aucun signe de ralentissement. Le Pr. Nogami du Tokyo Inst. of Technology déclare qu’ils ont besoin de faire des recherches approfondies pour identifier ce qui maintient cette éruption continue.
Le volcan Kilauea d’Hawaii est célèbre pour ses éruptions continues mais la structure souterraine y est différente de celle du Japon.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
