Niigata Governor Hideyo Hanazumi approved the restart of the world's largest nuclear plant, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa facility, on Friday. This marks the first restart for operator TEPCO since the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The move supports Japan's goals to reduce fossil fuel reliance and achieve carbon neutrality.

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.

Fifteen years after the 2011 disaster, the 21 industrial parks built in Fukushima's coastal municipalities to revitalize the region, backed by generous government incentives, are displaying both successes and ongoing struggles.

Japan's Environment Ministry plans to launch full-scale efforts to recycle soil collected during decontamination work at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant after the 2011 meltdown. The ministry seeks to reuse soil with low levels of radioactive contamination from areas polluted by the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings' facility. It began using the soil in the front garden of the Prime Minister's Office and flower beds at central government offices in Tokyo's Kasumigaseki district last year.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings unveiled a new robot arm on Wednesday for the project to remove nuclear fuel debris from its tsunami-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. The 22-meter-long arm can grab debris from a wider area than the previously used fishing rod-like devices. Tepco plans to begin setting it up next month and start the third trial at the No. 2 reactor this autumn.
