Kashiwazaki Nuclear Power Plant To Restart
The nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki is going to start producing electricity again. It is the biggest nuclear power station in the world.
Many local people are angry. Many people think that nuclear power is not safe enough and they may have to evacuate if there is a meltdown. Also, there are much cheaper sources of electricity. Solar and wind are cheaper and much safer than nuclear power.
The plant will start producing electricity as soon as this week.
