STRONG EARTHQUAKE (6.1 M) HIT SOUTHERN JAPAN ON MONDAY NIGHT; AUTHORITIES DECIDE NO INCREASED RISK OF NANKAI TROUGH QUAKE - JAPAN

STRONG EARTHQUAKE (7.0 M) HIT SOUTHERN JAPAN ON MONDAY NIGHT; AUTHORITIES DECIDE NO INCREASED RISK OF NANKAI TROUGH QUAKE - JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

An earthquake with an intensity of lower 5 on the Japanese seismic scale of 7 struck Miyazaki Prefecture at about 9:19 p.m. on Monday.

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information advisory with the keyword Under Analysis on the day, indicating that it was examining the likelihood of Nankai Trough Earthquake increasing. At 11:45 p.m., the JMA announced that it had concluded its research and decided that the possibility of such a quake had not increased.

Miyazaki, Shintomi and Takanabe in the prefecture saw an intensity of lower 5, with a magnitude of 6.6 and an epicenter about 36 kilometers deep in the Hyuga-nada Sea.

The JMA held a special meeting of an evaluation and review panel at 10:30 p.m., after the announcement of the advisory. It concluded the scale of the earthquake was below a moment magnitude scale of 7.0, meaning it did not meet the criteria to issue an advisory with the phrase Megathrust Earthquake Attention.

A magnitude-7.1 earthquake occurred near the epicenter of Monday’s earthquake in August. The JMA issued its first advisory with Megathrust Earthquake Attention at that time.

On Monday, tsunami advisories were issued for Miyazaki and Kochi Prefectures. A 20-centimeter tsunami was observed in Miyazaki and Nichinan in Miyazaki Prefecture, and a 10-centimeter tsunami in Muroto and Tosashimizu in Kochi Prefecture.

Damage including burst water pipes and fallen rocks blocking a prefectural road was confirmed in Miyazaki Prefecture on Tuesday in the wake of Monday’s earthquake.

In the Ikime area of the prefecture, water was confirmed to be spewing out at two locations, including one near a curb on a city road. According to the Miyazaki city government, water pipes were believed to have been damaged, disrupting the water supply to two households.

JAPAN TO MAXIMIZE NUCLEAR POWER IN CLEAN - ENERGY PUSH AS ELECTRICITY DEMAND GROWS - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN TO MAXIMIZE NUCLEAR POWER IN CLEAN - ENERGY PUSH AS ELECTRICITY DEMAND GROWS - TOKYO JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

A government-commissioned panel of experts on Wednesday largely supported Japan's new energy policy for the next few years that calls for bolstering renewables up to half of electricity needs by 2040 while maximizing the use of nuclear power as the country seeks to accommodate the growing power demand in the era of AI while meeting decarbonization targets.

The Industry Ministry presented the draft plan for final review by the panel of 16 mostly pro-nuclear members from business, academia and civil groups. It calls for maximizing the use of nuclear energy, reversing a phaseout policy adopted after the meltdown crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in 2011 that led to extensive displacement of residents and lingering anti-nuclear sentiment.

The plan is due to receive cabinet approval by March after a period of consultation and will then replace the current energy policy, which dates from 2021. The new proposal says nuclear energy should account for 20% of Japan’s energy supply in 2040, up from just 8.5% last year, while expanding renewables to 40-50% from 22.9% and reducing coal-fired power to 30-40% from nearly 70% last year.

The current plan set a 20-22% target for nuclear energy, 36-38% for renewables and 41% for fossil fuel, for 2030.

Demand for low-carbon energy, such as renewables and nuclear, is growing because of the demand from data centers using AI and semiconductor factories around the country.

Industry Minister Yoji Muto, who attended Wednesday’s panel meeting, said Japan must strengthen its energy security by not relying too much on a single source.

“How we can secure decarbonized energy determines Japan’s future growth,” Muto said. “It's time to stop discussing a choice between renewable energy and nuclear power. We should maximize the use of both renewables and nuclear.”

Japan has set a goal of achieving net zero emissions of climate-warming gases by 2050, and a 73% reduction by 2040 compared to 2013 levels.

The draft energy plan places renewables as the main power source and calls for development of next-generation energy source, such as solar batteries and portable solar panels.

It outlines a number of risk scenarios, including a possibility of less-than-expected investment and cost reduction in renewables. However, some experts said the plan lacked a feasibility outlook for 2040 or a roadmap for the phaseout of fossil fuels.

The plan also calls for acceleration of the restarts of reactors that meet the post-Fukushima safety standards, and proposes construction of next-generation reactors -- at plants where existing reactors are being decommissioned.

Still, to achieve the 20% target, all 33 workable reactors in Japan must be back online, with only 14 back in service after the Fukushima disaster. Given the current pace of safety checks by the nuclear regulation authority, experts say meeting the target would be difficult.

Despite criticisms and skepticism about its feasibility, Japan still sticks to its pursuit of developing advanced reactors and a struggling spent fuel reprocessing program to achieve a complete nuclear fuel cycle.

The number of influenza patients reported in Tokyo in the week ending Dec 22 has doubled from the previous week, exceeding the warning level, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government said Friday.

The government is calling on people to take infection prevention measures during the New Year holidays.

According to the Tokyo government, the number of influenza patients reported in Tokyo in the week ending on the 22nd was 40.02 per medical institution, exceeding the warning level of 30.

The increase is about 131% from the previous week.

This is the first time since early February 2019 that the warning level has been exceeded in Tokyo.

Looking at the number of patients by age, the majority are 14 years old or younger, and a total of 767 class closures have been reported in elementary and junior high schools.

RECORDINGS SHOW COAST GUARD PLANE CREW IN HANEDA TOKYO COLLISION THOUGHT IT OK TO ENTER RUNWAY - JAPAN

RECORDINGS SHOW COAST GUARD PLANE CREW IN HANEDA TOKYO COLLISION THOUGHT IT OK TO ENTER RUNWAY - JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Flight voice recordings from a Japan Coast Guard plane involved in a fatal collision were released Wednesday, reinforcing the view that its crew likely erroneously believed the aircraft was allowed to enter the runway when it was hit by a Japan Airlines jetliner at Tokyo's Haneda airport on January 2.

The co-pilot correctly repeated the airport traffic controller's instruction to taxi to a holding point where it would await clearance to enter the runway. But subsequent exchanges among the crew suggest they believed they had been given permission to enter, according to a Japan Transport Safety Board report.

According to the report, a traffic controller told the coast guard plane that it was "No. 1" in the order of takeoff and instructed it to "taxi to holding point C5." The co-pilot responded, "Taxi to holding point C5," and it was "No. 1."

The plane's captain also repeated "No. 1" and "C5" and instructed the co-pilot to proceed with preparations for departure. The aircraft then entered the runway.

Based on the content of voice recorders retrieved from the accident, the only talk on board the plane was about their mission to help the people affected by the magnitude-7.6 earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula and surrounding areas on the Sea of Japan coast the previous day, it said.

The collision killed five of the six people aboard the coast guard's Bombardier DHC8-300, while all 379 people aboard the JAL Airbus A350 escaped despite flames engulfing the plane.

The report said the controller was focused on monitoring the JAL plane that was set to land on the runway and as such was unaware of the erroneous entry into the runway by the coast guard plane.

A runway entry alert was displayed on a desktop screen but the controller apparently did not notice it, the report said.

The crew of the JAL jetliner, for its part, could not visually confirm the presence of the coast guard plane on the runway before touchdown. According to the report, not only were the lights of the plane and the runway both white but the accident occurred after sunset with little to no moonlight.

The escape of all JAL passengers and crew, which took 18 minutes, was widely praised, with the report crediting crew members for their appropriate instructions.
