Selon la Japan meteorological agency, le Mont Aso, un volcan actif de la préfecture de Kumamoto, est en train d’entrer en activité.

Dans leur rapport mensuel du 13 janvier 2015, l’activité éruptive a commencé à s’intensifier le 25 novembre 2014. On observe des éruptions intermittentes et il y a une alerte aux cendres volcaniques dans un rayon de 1 km autour d’un des cratères du cône central.
Selon l’observatoire météorologique du district de Fukuoka, des fumeroles ont été observées montant jusqu’à 1 300 m au-dessus du cratère, les rougeoiements volcaniques ont également été enregistré sur caméra pendant la nuit du 10 janvier 2015.
Les secousses volcaniques sont également relevées 24 heures par jour depuis le 9 janvier 2015. Les clinomètres montrent que ça se soulève autour du cratère depuis le 5 janvier 2015.

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.
