A nuclear power plant in Ohio is operating for the first time since February after repairs were made to cracks found in the nozzles of the reactor head.

Ohio-based utility FirstEnergy says the nuclear facility near Toledo has now begun operating.

This comes after federal regulators gave FirstEnergy permission to restart the Davis-Besse nuclear plant.

The utility has agreed to replace the reactor head next year, but regulators say theyÂ’re confident the plant is safe to run.

The company says it found the early-stage cracks during a planned outage.

The same plant was closed from 2002 to 2004 because of an acid leak in a different reactor head.
