TEPCO restarts Kashiwazaki Kariwa Unit 6
Earlier today, TEPCO announced that after nearly 15 years, Unit 6 at the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power station has been restarted. Following approval from Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), TEPCO withdrew the reactor’s control rods to initiate startup at 7:02 p.m. local time.
Next, the company will work with the NRA to confirm the safe operation of the plant. “We will carefully verify the integrity of each and every plant facility while suitably addressing any issues that arise and conveying information to the public during each step of the startup process,” TEPCO’s statement said.

A workshop Sponsored by the Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee and the U.S. Women in Nuclear
Come join the gamified, in-person workshop, Wednesday December 1 at 6:30 pm, centered around emotional intelligence in the workplace: Nuclear Family Feud! Similar to the popular game show, the Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee in collaboration with U.S. Women in Nuclear have gathered a number of fun and thought provoking questions and polled the ANS community. See how well you know our nuclear family with questions ranging from “What’s the best isotope” to “What’s the most common reason people leave nuclear.” No need to come with a team prepared- we will team everyone at the workshop! Please register so we can plan for food and beverage options accordingly. We will have a virtual version of this event on Thursday.
Survey says… we need your help! In preparation for Nuclear Family Feud, we need your help in providing responses on a wide range of topics from the color of electrons to workplace conflict. Then, tune in on Wednesday, December 1 (onsite), or Thursday, December 2 (virtual), where players will earn points based on your responses. Please provide your anonymous input by participating in this brief survey, whether you are planning to attend the Winter Meeting or not. Registration for Thursday’s virtual game is open to everyone. Survey participants can choose to enter a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card. Survey closes November 26.
