According to the report, Japan is set to restart the world's largest nuclear power plant, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in central Niigata prefecture, Nikkei Asia reported on Wednesday.
The report also stated that the prefectural governor is expected to approve Tokyo Electric Power's nuclear plant as early as Friday, bringing the facility one step closer to reopening for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima disaster, according to the daily. The 8.2-gigawatt facility, known as the world's largest nuclear plant with seven reactors, has been idle since 2012, following the 2011 meltdown at the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi plant.
The report also reported that Niigata Governor Hideyo Hanazumi has reportedly told prefectural officials that he will publicly support restarting the power plant as early as Friday. He will then consult the prefectural assembly, which will begin its monthly session on December 2. If the assembly approves the project, the prefecture will inform the Tokyo government that local procedures are complete.
In addition, the prefectural governor will announce when the reactivation of the plan and the activation of the country’s largest nuclear plant begin. If the restart process goes smoothly, the reactor will become operational by the end of March next year.
