Japan has approved the restart of the world's largest nuclear power plant after the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
Hideye Hanazumi, the governor of Niigata Prefecture, where the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant is located, said at a press conference that he would "approve" the resumption of operations, which has yet to receive final approval from the Japanese nuclear regulatory authority.
Japan, a country with limited resources, abandoned nuclear power after the triple disaster — earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster — at Fukushima in 2011, as the population expressed concern about this source of energy. But this country is already striving to revive nuclear power and reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports.
A total of 14 reactors, mostly located in the west and south of the country, have already been restarted after implementing strict safety regulations. This will be the first restart of a nuclear power plant by Tepco, the operator of the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant, after the disaster.
