Japan's Largest Nuclear Plant Stops Reactor Hours After Brief Restart

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.

Georgia's Plant Vogtle achieves full power output from third nuclear reactor.

Unit 3 at Plant Vogtle in Georgia has reached its full output of 1,100 megawatts of electricity, enough to power an estimated 500,000 homes and businesses. The reactor is scheduled to enter commercial operation within the next month. The fourth reactor has finished a key testing phase and is expected to reach commercial operation between December and March 2024. Georgia Power owns 45.7% of the reactors, and almost every electric customer in Georgia will pay for Vogtle. The cost of the third and fourth reactors is now on track to cost the owners $31 billion.
