Japan set to restart Kashiwazaki-Kariwa
Hideyo Hanazumi, governor of Niigata Prefecture in Japan, has approved the restart of two reactors at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant. The seven-unit facility, operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company, is the largest nuclear power plant in the world. It has been shut down since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami struck the country, severely damaging TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi plant.
