Possible explosion in Iwaki city still unidentified

Following up this article.. Unidentified explosive sound heard in Iwaki city twice on 8th Feb [URL]

 

The cause of the possible explosion still have not been identified.

NIED (National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention) observed weak tremor that last for a few tens of seconds around 15:30 of 2/8/2016, when the explosive sound was observed in Iwaki city.  The tremor was measured even in Hitachi city of Ibaraki prefecture. However NIED denies the possibility of an earthquake because the tremor was observed in widespread area at once. They also denied the possibility of meteorite.

Meteorite was not seen by anyone either.

Ministry of defense comments none of their fighter aircraft flew above Iwaki city that time.

However, none of the investigation has been implemented for the potential connection with Fukushima plant so far.

L’explosion entendue dans la ville d’Iwaki n’est toujours pas expliquée

L’origine des explosions n’est toujours pas établie.

Le 8 février 2016 vers 15:30 le NIED (National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention) avait relevé un faible tremblement de terre d’une dizaine de secondes lorsque le bruit d’explosion était entendu dans la ville d’Iwaki. Le tremblement avait même été enregistré à Hitachi, dans la préfecture d’Ibaraki. Néanmoins, le NIED réfute la possibilité que ce soit un séisme car ce tremblement a été relevé en même temps sur une zone trop étendue.
Ils rejettent aussi la possibilité que ce soit une météorite. De fait, aucune météorite n’a été observée par quiconque.
Le ministère de la défense déclare qu’aucun de ses avions de combat n’était en vol au-dessus d’Iwaki à ce moment-là.

Aucune investigation n’est menée à ce jour sur un lien possible avec la centrale de Fukushima.

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.
