Tokyo: A technical glitch pushed back the restart of the world's biggest nuclear reactor in Japan, its operator said on Monday, a day before local media reported it would go online.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said it would need another day or two to check the equipment at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, which media reports said was set to restart on Tuesday.
The plant was taken offline when Japan pulled the plug on nuclear power after a colossal earthquake and tsunami sent three reactors at the Fukushima plant into meltdown in 2011.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa facility would be the first nuclear plant that Fukushima operator TEPCO restarts since the disaster.
The company has never publicly announced a date to switch on the plant.
