Japan Restarts World's Largest Nuclear Plant, 15 Years After Fukushima Shutdown Japan resumed operations at the world’s largest nuclear power plant this week, marking a key development in the country’s return to nuclear energy almost 15 years after the Fukushima disaster. The reactor is located at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture. It is the world’s first nuclear power plant to use an advanced boiling water reactor. Panoramic view of units 5-7 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant. Kashiwazaki-Kariwa’s total capacity is 8.2 GW, which is enough to power a few million homes. The site is operated by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which also ran the Fukushima plant. While the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa facility was not damaged by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, all seven of its reactors have remained offline since the accident amid tightened safety requirements and public scrutiny. We noted back in December, Niigata prefecture’s assembly session vote revealed the community’s deep divisions over the restart, in spite of lawmakers giving their backing to Hanazumi. “This is nothing other than a political settlement that does not take into account the will of the Niigata residents,” an assembly member told fellow lawmakers during the session. Around 300 protesters gathered outside the assembly holding billboards with signs expressing their opposition to the resumption in operations, such as “No Nukes” and “Support Fukushima.” “I am truly angry from the bottom of my heart,” Kenichiro Ishiyama, a 77-year-old protester from Niigata city, told reporters after the vote. “If something was to happen at the plant, we would be the ones to suffer the consequences.” Brought back to life on February 9, the reactor had been shut down for more than a decade. “We will continue to conduct integrity checks of the plant equipment under actual steam operating conditions, while fully and sincerely responding to inspections by the Nuclear Re...
