WATER DUMP: Emergency workers resort to extraordinary, combat-like measures in desperate attempts to cool radioactive fuel at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex north of Tokyo. They deploy an army helicopter to dump water from the sky on one out-of-control reactor where power was knocked out Friday by an earthquake-born tsunami.
WATER CANNONS: At the same reactor, workers use water cannons to blast cooling water into a pool used to store spent nuclear fuel, which can also overheat and catch fire.
RESTORING POWER: In one encouraging development, crews were finishing laying a new cable to supply more reliable electricity for motors, valves and pumps needed to keep reactors cool.
