Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (Tepco) began sending electricity from its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata Prefecture to the Tokyo metropolitan area for the first time in about 14 years on Monday. The No. 6 reactor, restarted earlier this year, started generating and transmitting power at 10 p.m. Further inspections are planned ahead of potential commercial operations.

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.

Researchers have found that the magma reservoir beneath Japan's Kikai caldera, site of the Holocene's largest eruption 7,300 years ago, is refilling with newly injected magma. Using underwater seismic imaging, a team led by Kobe University's Nobukazu Seama mapped the reservoir and linked it to the ancient event. The discovery offers insights into how such systems rebuild after massive eruptions.

West Japan Railway Co. (JR West) announced on Friday morning that Sanyo Shinkansen services between Hakata and Hiroshima stations have been suspended after a piece of plastic got caught in the overhead wires at JR Kokura Station. The driver of the Nozomi 103 train from Tokyo to Hakata spotted the issue and shut off the power supply for safety. This led to a power outage between Hakata and Shin-Shimonoseki stations starting at 11:03 a.m.
