Japan Is Restarting Its #NuclearPower Program 15 Years After the #Fukushima Disaster

One of the surviving reactors at the #KashiwazakiKariwa plant was loaded with fuel last summer and recently turned back on, to mixed reactions.

By Elizabeth Rayne, Published: Jan 28, 2026

Excerpt: "Despite the benefits [sic] of nuclear energy, not everyone is so sure about this move. The Japanese government’s strategic energy plan previously intended to reduce the use of nuclear power as much as possible, but as far back as 2021, it has been focused on incorporating nuclear back into its bank of power sources as a way to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Its newest plan addresses the progress that has been made since the Fukushima disaster, admitting that the power plant failed to make improvements because of 'the myth [that] created the impression that meeting the standards and conditions set by the government and industry would eliminate all risks.'

"Some citizens see the return to nuclear power as a dismissal of caution."

Deep beneath the surface of distant #exoplanets known as super-earths, oceans of molten rock may be powering magnetic fields strong enough to shield entire planets from dangerous cosmic #radiation and other harmful high-energy particles.

A strong magnetic field is very important for #life on a #planet but most of the terrestrial #planets in the solar system, such as #Venus and #Mars, do not have them because their cores don’t have the right physical conditions to generate a magnetic field.

However, super-earths can produce dynamos in their core and/or magma, which can increase their planetary #habitability.

Many super-earths orbit within their #stars’ habitable zones, where liquid #water could exist.

By studying their compositions, atmospheres, and magnetic fields, scientists are uncovering clues about the origins of planetary systems and signs of conditions that might allow life to thrive elsewhere.

#TEPCO Downgrades Thermometers After 80°C Spike, But Data Suggests a Systemic Issue

"TEPCO recently reported that a thermometer in #FukushimaDaiichi’s Reactor 1 recorded an unexpected 80°C temperature increase following nitrogen injection into the primary containment vessel (#PCV). Initially, this raised concerns about a possible heat source inside the containment vessel .

"However, after an internal review, TEPCO concluded that the reading did not reflect an actual temperature increase, attributing it to instrument malfunction. As a result, they downgraded multiple thermometers to “reference use” and removed them from official monitoring .
Contradictions in TEPCO’s Explanation

"TEPCO’s official report claims that the 80°C spike was a sensor anomaly, yet the data contradicts this conclusion..."

Japan’s nuclear watchdog halts plant’s reactor safety screening over falsified data

By MARI YAMAGUCHI
Updated 8:31 AM EST, January 7, 2026

TOKYO (AP) — "Japan’s #nuclear watchdog said Wednesday it is scrapping the safety screening for two reactors at the #HamaokaNuclearPowerPlant in central Japan, after its operator was found to have fabricated data about #earthquake risks.

"It was a setback to Japan’s attempts to accelerate nuclear reactor restarts. Less than a quarter of commercial nuclear reactors are operational in the wake of the 2011 #FukushimaDaiichi meltdowns, but rising energy costs and pressure to reduce carbon emissions have pushed the government to prioritize nuclear power.

"#ChubuElectricPowerCo. had applied for safety screening to resume operations at the No. 3 and 4 reactors at the Hamaoka plant in 2014 and 2015. Two other reactors at the plant are being decommissioned, and a fifth is idle.

"The plant, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of #Tokyo, is located on a coastal area known for potential risks from so-called #NankaiTrough #megaquakes."

Nuclear reactor owned by #Fukushima plant operator #TEPCO to shut down again hours after restart

By MARI YAMAGUCHI
Updated 7:05 AM EST, January 22, 2026

TOKYO (AP) — "A reactor at the world’s largest nuclear power plant that restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster is now being shut down again Thursday due to a glitch that occurred hours after the unit’s resumption, its operator said.

"The No. 6 reactor at the #KashiwazakiKariwa plant in north-central Japan reactivated Wednesday night for the first time in 14 years, as plant workers started removing neutron-absorbing control rods from the core to start stable nuclear fission.

"But the process had to be suspended hours later due to a malfunction related to control rods, which are essential to safely starting up and shutting down reactors, the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings said.

"TEPCO, which also manages the wrecked Fukushima plant, said there was no safety issue from the glitch."

„Nuclear weapons testing has affected every single human on the planet, causing at least 4 million premature deaths from cancer and other diseases over time, according to a new report delving into the deadly legacy.

More than 2,400 nuclear devices were detonated in tests conducted worldwide between 1945 and 2017.“

My first Aurora Borealis

Exciting times… my phone pinged and it was a neighbour inviting all our little lane community to come out and see what the night sky was doing!

I’ve never before seen the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, and it was remarkable to see them at our 51.6ºN latitude and with the naked eye!

With the camera, it was even more spectacular, and these are long exposure shots, processed only to reduce the distortion of an ultra wide lens (Sony 16-35mm f2.8) and tone down the highlights from the adjacent community centre.

all the shots are from our front gardenIn the background, the Cotswold EscarpmentClouds rapidly took centre stage, but the lights shone throughA gigantic green candle flame!which split and headed off to the eastI used a torch to catch Janet puffing green thought bubblesbut inevitably I had to get into the picture!

Borrowed from the BBC

Monday’s stunning aurora was the result of a severe geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) – waves of charged particles that erupt from the sun’s surface.

As they approach Earth, they interact with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, creating the colours we see in the night sky. Oxygen atoms glow green and nitrogen red, blue and pink.

We are currently in a period of high solar activity, called solar maximum, during the sun’s 21-year cycle. The sun has more sunspots which emit CMEs and solar flares – waves of electromagnetic radiation – and so we see more aurorae on Earth.
