Another reactor at Oi power plant reactivated

NAGOYA, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter on July 9, 2012, shows the No. 4 reactor building (front) at Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Oi nuclear power plant in the town of Oi, Fukui Prefecture. The No. 4 reactor was reactivated around 9 p.m. on July 18, becoming only the second reactor to resume operation after being shut down for periodic checks since the Fukushima nuclear crisis began in March 2011. The building housing the No. 3 reactor, which the utility reactivated on July 1 and brought to full operation on July 9, stands just behind.
