00:00Japanese authorities have shut down the world's largest nuclear power plant just one day after restarting it.
00:06Officials say a faulty control rod is to blame.
00:10We replaced the electrical components of that control rod, but the situation did not improve.
00:15Therefore, as plant director, I decided it is necessary to temporarily shut down the plant and conduct a thorough investigation into the cause.
00:24Officials say an alarm was triggered Thursday during work in the plant's main reactor.
00:28The reactor was turned back online on Wednesday for the first time in more than 13 years.
00:34It was the first time Japan had restarted a nuclear reactor since the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
