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. t...

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 fu...

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. gr

Shannon: wrapping up a new spacewalk right now, astronauts taking their third stroll through space in about a week installing a new ammonia cooling pump. we are expecting one more spacewalk before they can declare a complete success. the space station's been operating at half its normal cooling capacity since july 31st. a new report just out on what could be a by-product of arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants. there is, apparently, a surge of activity in driver's license applications in the handful of states with easier-to-pass background checks. trace gallagher reporting live from the...
