Japan still struggling to restore power to cool down reactors

In Fukushima, earthquake survivors and rescue workers observe a moment of silence to mark the week since the temblor and tsunami. The death toll tops 7,000, surpassing that of the 1995 Kobe quake.

Fighting exhaustion and radiation fears, engineers struggled anew Saturday to complete the crucial task of hooking a crippled nuclear plant to the electricity grid to help cool down damaged reactors. The official count of dead and missing in the quake and tsunami soared above 18,000, making this Japan's worst disaster since World War II.
