Fukushima Update

Japanese emergency teams have been battling to repair the Fukushima nuclear plant stricken by the quake and tsunami - fire engines and army helicopters have sprayed tons of water on the plant, and power lines have been re-laid.

Engineers are accelerating efforts to restore cooling functions to reactors at the damaged Fukushima plant on Saturday, reports Kyodo news agency. They are hoping to reconnect the electricity to reactor number 2 later today.

Members of Tokyo Fire Department's 'hyper rescue team' have joined the operation to cool down reactor 3 by spraying it with 90 tons of water, according to Kyodo.
