Workers at the nuclear plant in Japan that was crippled by last Friday's earthquake have been laying new power cables to the pumps that should be keeping the reactors cool.
The BBC's Chris Hogg says it will be Friday before officials know whether they can get electricity through them. He says, however, that this is the first good news they've had in days.
He also says there's a plan to use the helicopter "water-bombing" again on Friday in an attempt to cool down the nuclear plant. He says the power company has said the method proved quite effective on Thursday and is worth trying again.
