Some potentially positive comments coming out of TEPCO
6.20pm: Tepco, the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, is holding a press briefing and saying that a new power line that could solve the cooling problem at the plant is almost ready.

No details yet but presumably that could mean the company could reconnect the reactors to the grip and so operate their usual cooling functions. Let's wait and see.
---------------------------------
Two questions come to mind 1. If they believed this is all they needed to do to solve this issue why haven't they said this already?? It would have saved a crap load of panic! 2. I know the problem that caused this was power related but has there been a leak in the cooling system? I thought I read that somewhere,but I could be wrong.
