Japan suspended the restart of the world’s largest nuclear power plant just a day after it began operating for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima disaster, after an alarm sounded during start-up procedures.
An alert from a monitoring system was triggered while workers were starting up the reactor number six at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant, prompting the decision to halt operations, its operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said. The company said it did not yet know how long it would take to resolve the issue.
