A small island a thousand miles southeast of Tokyo sits astride deep-sea rare earth deposits — ones that could "meet centuries' worth of industrial demand," a U.S.-Japan statement said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/13/japan/us-japan-undersea-mine-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #usjapanrelations #us #china #minamitorishima #oceans

An analysis of rare earth-rich mud retrieved from ⁠the deep seabed off a remote Pacific Island earlier this year found medium and heavy rare earth elements accounted for about 54% of the total rare earth content. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/07/25/economy/japan-rare-earths-mud-minamitorishima/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #minamitorishima #rareearths #minerals #mining #economicsecurity #china #oceans

Japan reactor restart sparks fresh fears over nuclear waste storage
"
"Japan has resumed operations at the world's largest nuclear power plant to help the country meet huge electricity demands .. Japan is running out of space for spent nuclear fuel + has no viable plans for permanent disposal of the rad. waste."

A survey to determine the suitability of a remote island in the Ogasawara Islands chain as a final disposal site for radioactive nuclear waste began Wednesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/21/japan/society/minamitorishima-nuclear-waste/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #minamitorishima #ogasawaraislands #tokyo #nuclearenergy #nuclearwaste #localgovernment

Japan's government is developing methods to mine critical minerals, including rare earths, from the seabed around Minamitorishima, a remote Japanese island, eyeing domestic rare earth production for economic security. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/07/economy/japan-rare-earth-production/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #rareearths #minerals #chinajapanrelations #minamitorishima

"
Government will proceed with nuclear waste site survey for Minamitorishima
"
"The Japanese government is set to conduct a literature survey on the feasibility of constructing a final disposal facility for highly radioactive waste on Minamitorishima, one of Japan’s Ogasawara Islands, industry minister Ryosei Akazawa said Tuesday."

"Non si parla dell’acqua trattata di #Fukushima né dei terreni contaminati dopo il disastro del 2011, ma del problema strutturale e mai risolto del deposito geologico profondo per i rifiuti più pericolosi del ciclo #nucleare giapponese."

A study to determine the suitability of Japan's easternmost island of Minamitorishima as a permanent nuclear waste disposal site has received the nod from the local government. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/13/japan/ogasawara-mayor-survey-minamitorishima/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #minamitorishima #ogasawara #tokyo #nuclearenergy #nuclearwaste

The Ogasawara village office said Wednesday that Mayor Masaaki Shibuya will later this month tell residents how he will respond to a government request to survey Minamitorishima as a possible nuclear waste repository. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/02/japan/ogasawara-mayor-stance-nuclear-waste/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #minamitorishima #nuclearwaste #nuclearenergy #ogasawaraislands #environment #worldheritage

The government met with residents of Chichijima, an island in the Ogasawara chain, to explain the possibility of using another island in the chain as a disposal site for highly radioactive waste. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/15/japan/nuclear-waste-meeting-minamitorishima/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #minamitorishima #nuclearwaste #nuclearenergy #ogasawaraislands

Minamitorishima island is being considered for an initial nuclear waste disposal survey and the government is seeking cooperation from Ogasawara village, which administers the remote island. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/03/japan/politics/minamitorishima-nuclear-survey/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #minamitorishima #nuclearwaste #nuclearenergy

Takeichi, wybory i metale ziem rzadkich

Wydobycie z dna morskiego błota zwierającego minerały i jego obróbka było wcześniej uważane za zbyt kosztowne. Jednak sytuacja międzynarodowa wszystko zmienia. Na całym świecie jest przenoszony nacisk z efektywności ekonomicznej na bezpieczeństwo gospodarcze.
