Japanese engineers have conceded that burying the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant in sand and concrete may be the only way to prevent a catastrophic radiation release.
Officials are still trying to fix a power cable to at least two reactors to restart water pumps needed to cool overheating nuclear fuel rods.
Workers have also sprayed water on the Number 3 reactor, one of the most critical of the plant’s six.
Meanwhile, the confirmed number of dead now stands at 6-and-a-half-thousand – with 10-thousand people still missing.
