Following up this article.. Expert “New volcanic island may have a massive explosion” [URL]

 

On 3/26/2015, the Maritime Safety Agency announced the new volcanic island in South of Tokyo keeps still extremely active and increasing the volcanic ash.

 

They carried out the aerial survey on 3/25/2015. They found out the volcano still erupts 5 〜 6 times a minute, which is as active as February.

As a difference from the previous time they researched in February, the volume of volcanic ash increased to suggest the exploding point is getting deeper.

Prof. Nogami from Tokyo Inst. of Technology states it can have an explosive eruption if it goes deeper.

 

Currently the volcanic island is assumed to be 2.45 km2, which is approx 5 times large as last year.

Le 26 mars 2015, la Maritime Safety Agency annonce que la nouvelle île volcanique au Sud de Tokyo continue d’être extrêmement active et une augmentation des cendres volcaniques.

Ils ont effectué une expédition aérienne le 25 mars 2015. Ils ont établi que le volcan entre toujours en éruption 5 à 6 fois par minute, soit aussi actif qu’en février.
La différence avec leur expédition de février est que le volume des cendres volcaniques a augmenté ce qui suggère que la zone des explosions s’est enfoncée.
Le Pr. Nogami du Tokyo Inst. of Technology estime qu’il peut connaître une éruption explosive si cette zone s’enfonce encore.

Actuellement, l’île volcanique est considérée avoir 2,45 km², soit environ 5 fois plus vaste que l’an dernier.

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.
