  1. TEPCO said Sunday that the resumption at the No. 6 reactor at its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant came a day after the replacement of a damaged part that led to the suspension of power generation. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/ #japan #kashiwazakikariwa #tepco #nuclearpower

  2. Tepco has postponed the start of commercial operation of the No. 6 reactor at its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture to replace parts susceptible to vibrations from the generator. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/ #japan #nuclearenergy #tepco #kashiwazakikariwa #niigata

  5. World’s biggest #NuclearPlant fires up 1,356MW reactor after 13-year freeze

    Story by Everett Sloane, February 11, 2026

    Excerpt: "Coverage of the planned restart has noted that Japan’s #Kashiwazaki and Kariwa units faced a suspension just hours after an earlier attempt began, after a minor malfunction triggered alarms. Separate reporting on Jan developments stressed that the significance of bringing Reactor No. 6 online was rising as tight supply threatened winter reliability, a reminder that grid operators are juggling risk on two fronts at once: the risk of another accident and the risk of blackouts if demand outstrips capacity. This dual pressure is why I see unit 6 less as a side story and more as the template regulators will use to judge whether No. 7 can safely move from fuel loading to full power."

  12. Japan Is Restarting Its #NuclearPower Program 15 Years After the #Fukushima Disaster

    One of the surviving reactors at the #KashiwazakiKariwa plant was loaded with fuel last summer and recently turned back on, to mixed reactions.

    Excerpt: "Despite the benefits [sic] of nuclear energy, not everyone is so sure about this move. The Japanese government’s strategic energy plan previously intended to reduce the use of nuclear power as much as possible, but as far back as 2021, it has been focused on incorporating nuclear back into its bank of power sources as a way to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Its newest plan addresses the progress that has been made since the Fukushima disaster, admitting that the power plant failed to make improvements because of 'the myth [that] created the impression that meeting the standards and conditions set by the government and industry would eliminate all risks.'

    "Some citizens see the return to nuclear power as a dismissal of caution."

  18. Nuclear reactor owned by #Fukushima plant operator #TEPCO to shut down again hours after restart

    By MARI YAMAGUCHI
    Updated 7:05 AM EST, January 22, 2026

    TOKYO (AP) — "A reactor at the world’s largest nuclear power plant that restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster is now being shut down again Thursday due to a glitch that occurred hours after the unit’s resumption, its operator said.

    "The No. 6 reactor at the #KashiwazakiKariwa plant in north-central Japan reactivated Wednesday night for the first time in 14 years, as plant workers started removing neutron-absorbing control rods from the core to start stable nuclear fission.

    "But the process had to be suspended hours later due to a malfunction related to control rods, which are essential to safely starting up and shutting down reactors, the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings said.

    "TEPCO, which also manages the wrecked Fukushima plant, said there was no safety issue from the glitch."
