Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Japan has approved Tokyo Electric Power Co. to restart the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear site as the world's largest nuclear power plant.
On Monday, the Niigata assembly backed Governor Hideyo Hanazumi's decision to stay in office after approving the restart of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in its first reactor restart since the Fukushima disaster more than a decade ago.
"We remain firmly committed to never repeating such an accident and ensuring Niigata residents never experience anything similar," a Tepco spokesperson told The Japan Times.
The decision finalizes local approval to restart the plant.
