World’s biggest #NuclearPlant fires up 1,356MW reactor after 13-year freeze

Story by Everett Sloane, February 11, 2026

Excerpt: "Coverage of the planned restart has noted that Japan’s #Kashiwazaki and Kariwa units faced a suspension just hours after an earlier attempt began, after a minor malfunction triggered alarms. Separate reporting on Jan developments stressed that the significance of bringing Reactor No. 6 online was rising as tight supply threatened winter reliability, a reminder that grid operators are juggling risk on two fronts at once: the risk of another accident and the risk of blackouts if demand outstrips capacity. This dual pressure is why I see unit 6 less as a side story and more as the template regulators will use to judge whether No. 7 can safely move from fuel loading to full power."

Größtes AKW der Welt:
Was beim Neustart schiefging

...Bei 88 von 205 Steuerstäben waren die Alarmeinstellungen fehlerhaft konfiguriert. Nach Angaben von Tepco bestand der Fehler vermutlich seit der Inbetriebnahme des Reaktors im Jahr 1996. Er blieb also fast 30 Jahre unentdeckt...

Japan lifts operational ban on world's biggest #NuclearPlant

"Japan's nuclear power regulator on Wednesday lifted an operational ban imposed on Tokyo Electric Power's (9501.T) #KashiwazakiKariwa nuclear power plant two years ago, allowing it to work towards gaining local permission to restart.

"#Tepco has been eager to bring the world's largest atomic power plant back online to slash operating costs, but a resumption still needs consent from the local governments of #Niigata prefecture, #Kashiwazaki city and #Kariwa village, where it is located.

"In 2021, the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) barred Tepco from operating Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, its only operable atomic power station, due to safety breaches including the failure to protect nuclear materials and missteps that saw an unauthorised staff member accessing sensitive areas of the plant."
