bbcbreaking Tokyo Electric Power Company declares #nuclear reactor units 5 and 6 under control after their fuel storage pools cooled down #Fukushima
From Reuters:
"There have been some positive developments in the last 24 hours but overall the situation remains very serious," said Graham Andrew, a senior official of Vienna-based U.N. watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Working in suits sealed by duct tape, engineers have managed to re-establish power cables to the No. 1, 2, 5 and 6 reactors and plan to start testing systems soon, officials say.
If the pumps cannot restart, drastic and lengthy measures may be needed like burying the plant in sand and concrete.
