Black smoke reached 2kn above the crater. Erupted ash and stones caused volcanic lightning.
Sakurajima is becoming more active than ever. In 2011, it had explosive eruption 996 times, which is the most frequent ever. Eruption has been minor, but Kagoshima local meteorological observatory warns if crustal deformation increases magma, major scale of eruption may happen.

近年、桜島の活動が活発化してきており、2011年は爆発的噴火を996回観測、過去の年間最多記録を更新しました。小規模なものがほとんどですが、鹿児島地方気象台は地殻変動によってマグマの量が増えれば、大きな噴火が起こる恐れもある」と警戒を強めています。

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.
