Japan's Largest Nuclear Plant Stops Reactor Hours After Brief Restart
TL;DR
A reactor at Japan's Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant—the world’s largest—was briefly restarted but shut down again hours later due to an issue with removing control rods; TEPCO said there was no radiation leak. The restart follows a history of safety and alarm-system problems since the 2011 Fukushima disaster, with a broader plan to reactivate some reactors slowly and decommission others amid ongoing public debate about nuclear power in Japan.
