Abstract generation in progress

Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan announced on March 13 that Unit 6 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, which was just restarted in January this year, experienced a generator leakage and triggered an alarm. The company decided to suspend power generation and transmission on the same day to investigate the cause of the fault. TEPCO stated that currently, the reactor of Unit 6 is still operating, with no significant fluctuations in equipment parameters or generator output power, and no radioactive materials have leaked externally. Unit 6 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant was restarted on January 21 this year. This was the first restart of a nuclear power plant operated by TEPCO since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster triggered by the 2011 “3.11” Great East Japan Earthquake. However, before and after the restart, Unit 6 experienced multiple faults. (CCTV International News)
