The Japanese governor overseeing the region that is home to the world’s largest nuclear power plant is set to give the approval this week for its restart.

Axar.az informs, iting Reuters, the approval will clear one of the remaining milestones in Tokyo Electric Power Co’s quest to bring the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant back online, more than a decade after the Fukushima nuclear disaster led to its shutdown.

Niigata Prefecture Governor Hideyo Hanazumi is set to announce his approval to partially resume Kashiwazaki-Kariwa as early as Friday.

If approved, the restart would be in line with new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s plans to support more nuclear restarts to strengthen energy security.
