daiichi plant have been caused by a loss of power. power to fuel the cooling systems to keep the radioactive material there cool and safe. they have now partially reinstated electrical power to the plant. this is good news. authorities say they have been able to run a power line powered by the external electrical grid to reactor number 2. reactor number 2 is the one that doesn't look as bad as the others here. with electricity they should be able to power pumps and anything else that is still functional on site for delivering cooling capacity both to the reactors and to the spent fuel pools. the real question is with all of the damage that was done when they didn't have power, with all of the explosions and everything else, are there enough intact systems still on site that there is anything functional to plug in to that blessed new power line? that's next. in your house... you need a hoveround power chair. i'm tom kruse, inventor of the hoveround. you'll be able to go to the mall!
