Tokyo Electric Power Co. will become totally reliant on thermal power on March 26 when it halts the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa power plant's remaining active reactor in Niigata Prefecture.
The move will take the last of Tepco's 17 reactors out of service and also terminate power generation at the world's largest nuclear plant, which has seven reactors.
Tepco's other 16 reactors are already out of service.
The suspension of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa's reactor 6, announced Thursday, will take the last of its seven reactors offline for regular checks. Unit 6 generates 1.356 million kw. (Japan Times)
