Control rod issue resolved, Japan's largest nuclear power plant to resume operation.
At 00:58 on the 21st local time, Tokyo Electric Power Company stated that it has confirmed that all 205 control rods of Unit 6 at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant are operating normally. Tokyo Electric Power Company plans to explain this result to the Japan Nuclear Regulation Authority on the same day and proceed with the necessary preparations before restarting. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant's Unit 6, which was scheduled to restart on the 20th after a 14-year hiatus, was postponed due to issues with the control rod settings discovered during testing on the 17th, as a precaution to ensure safety.
