Yeah, but the volcano has been erupting for years. When they say "dormant for two years," that's not how a vulcanologist would use the term "dormant." Dormant is like 200 years of no activity. There are dozens of volcanoes in Japan that have been active recently. And not just geologically recently. This eruption is (like many other events) a sensationalized coincidence.
The second I first heard about the problems with the reactors, all I could think of was the "Mount Fuji in Red" segment in Kurosawa's
Dreams. Watch it and you'll see why. It's haunting.
