TOLEDO, Ohio -- A nuclear reactor where cracks were discovered in the plant's concrete shell nearly two months ago began producing electricity again Tuesday, despite objections from an Ohio congressman who says unanswered questions are lingering about what happened.

FirstEnergy Corp., the operator of the Davis-Besse plant near Toledo, said it should be at full power later this week.

The plant along Lake Erie was shut down for maintenance in October when crews discovered a 30-foot hairline crack in the outer concrete wall that's designed to protect the reactor from anything that might hit it from outside such as storm debris.

More cracks were found soon after leading to closer inspections.
