The restart of the No. 7 reactor at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture is facing a prolonged delay due to the operator's inability to complete required anti-terrorism measures by the October deadline. The restart has been postponed until 2029 due to a shortage of construction workers and the need for local consent.
