TEPCO resumes cooling Fukushima Daiichi No. 4 reactor fuel pool

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Sunday it has resumed cooling the spent fuel pool of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant's No. 4 reactor following emergency repair work after the cooling system shut down on Saturday.

The water temperature of the pool had risen to 42.9 C when the utility known as TEPCO turned the cooling system back on shortly after 3 p.m., compared with 33.3 C at the time of the shutdown on Saturday morning.

TEPCO had feared that the temperature could reach 65 C, the upper limit designated in safety regulations.
