Oi plant's No. 4 reactor starts capacity operation

OBAMA, Japan - Photo from a Kyodo News helicopter shows the No. 4 reactor building (right) at Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Oi nuclear power plant in the town of Oi, Fukui Prefecture, on July 25, 2012. The reactor, which 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, started full-capacity power generation early on July 25 to ease electricity shortages in western Japan. The building housing the No. 3 reactor, the first to resume operation, is seen to the left.
