Tokyo Electric also had reactor troubles

TOKYO, Japan - Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture. (File photo, taken in August 2002). Tokyo Electric says March 20 that it has unreported problems with reactor control rods at its Fukushima No. 2 nuclear power plant in Fukushima in June 1993 and at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in April 2000 during regular checkups. Three other regional electric power companies have also reported similar nuclear power plant control problems and prompted a government investigation. (Kyodo)
