Oi No. 4 reactor begins generating power

OI, Japan - Photo shows the No. 4 reactor (L) at the Oi nuclear power plant of Kansai Electric Power Co. in Fukui Prefecture on July 21, 2012. The No. 4 reactor started generating and transmitting electricity later in the day. The reactor is the second to go back online after all of Japan's commercial reactors were taken offline for regular checks in the wake of the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. The first to resume operation was the Oi plant's No. 3 reactor (R).
