Tokyo Electric Power Co. engineers have laid a new power line to the stricken No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency said.
The new line, measuring about one kilometer (0.6 miles), aims to restore power to the plant’s cooling systems, which were knocked out by the earthquake and tsunami March 11, a company official earlier told a press conference on NHK.
