Fukushima nuclear plant operator to restart reactor at another plant, reviving safety concerns https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=68102 The restart of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa No. 6 by TEPCO raises regulatory and public-safety issues rooted in TEPCO's Fukushima-era safety failures. The reactor cleared scrutiny in 2023 after remediation measures-seawalls, watertighting, emergency water reservoirs, mobile cooling units, and filtered venting-and will undergo an interim inspection at 50% power before full commercial restart. Persistent concerns include deficient safety culture, collusion with authorities, data falsification by a utility, and the practical infeasibility of government evacuation plans after severe earthquake damage. en-us Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:46:04 +0530 Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:46:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator Fukushima nuclear plant operator to restart reactor at another plant, reviving safety concerns https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=68102 The restart of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa No. 6 by TEPCO raises regulatory and public-safety issues rooted in TEPCO's Fukushima-era safety failures.
