The largest in the world… restarting a Japanese nuclear plant

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), operator of the world’s largest nuclear plant, announced that this Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant will resume operation today, for the first time since the Fukushima disaster in 2011, despite continuing concerns about safety among residents.

The company said in a statement, “We are continuing preparations to operate the reactor, and we plan to remove the control rods after seven o’clock this evening (10:00 GMT), then operate the reactor.”
