"At this moment, we can't say when the reactor could be restarted," said Akira Fukushima, a top official at Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA).
"What I can say now is that we have to be careful to do our investigations and our research," Fukushima told journalists.
The comments came as NISA presented a report on the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant on the sidelines of the UN nuclear watchdog's general conference here.
