The No. 6 reactor at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture restarted on Tuesday after a scheduled brief halt for inspections. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings reactivated it at 6:25 a.m., finding no issues in turbine-related equipment. This marks the first electricity generation in about 14 years for the unit.
