TOKYO, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Japan's Niigata Prefecture on Monday approved the restart of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant, the world's largest, more than a decade after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, local media reported.

The prefectural assembly's consent means that Tokyo Electric Power Company will resume nuclear operations for the first time since the March 2011 core meltdowns at its tsunami-stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant.
