November 20th - It was learned on the 20th that Niigata Prefecture Governor Hideyo Hanakazumi is expected to express her intention to restart Japans largest nuclear power plant, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, on the 21st. However, only one of the plants seven reactors will be operational. Since the devastating Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, the Japanese government ordered the closure of all nuclear power plants within the country. To date, 14 nuclear reactors have resumed operation, mainly located in western and southern Japan. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, located in Niigata Prefecture in northwestern Japan, is named after the two cities of Kashiwazaki and Kashiwa, and is one of the worlds largest nuclear power plants in terms of net generating capacity. Following the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) decommissioned two nuclear power plants in Fukushima, and the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant was shut down in March 2012.Kremlin spokesman Derskov: No meeting between Putin and U.S. Army Secretary Driscoll has been scheduled.Ukrainian Prime Minister: Met with senior U.S. Army officials.The Kremlin stated that it has not yet held consultations or negotiations with the United States regarding a possible peace process in Ukraine, but the two sides have maintained contact.The Kremlin stated regarding the prospects for peace in Ukraine: any solution must eliminate the root causes of the conflict.

New FTX chief says bankrupt crypto exchange could restart

According to Chief Executive Officer John Ray, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is considering ways to resurrect its operations. He made the announcement to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.


According to Ray, who took over the company's leadership in November, a task group has been established to look at reviving FTX.com, the organization's primary international exchange.


The CEO also said in an interview with the Journal that he would research if resurrecting FTX's international exchange would generate more value for the company's clients than his team could get by simply selling the platform or liquidating its assets.


Following the news, FTT, the native token of FTX, increased by around 30%.


I'm relieved Mr. Ray is now only pledging to restart the exchange after months of blocking such attempts! Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of FTX, said in a tweet.


Bankman-Fried said, "I'm still waiting for him to eventually acknowledge FTX US is solvent and return clients' money.


An inquiry for comment from Reuters was not immediately answered by an attorney representing FTX.


Bankman-Fried is accused of robbing the exchange's users of billions of dollars to settle debts accrued by his cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund, Alameda Research. He's denied the allegations of fraud.


Customer money' future, however, is still unknown. In a note to creditors earlier this week, FTX said that since declaring bankruptcy in November, hackers had stolen nearly $415 million in cryptocurrency from its worldwide and American exchanges.
