Yes, it looks like they just warned about the new power lines. Some of the reactors and their cooling systems are too damaged. At the Fukushima Daiichi plant, the number of workers is doubled and a power line is set up, although its use may be limited. Water cannons may come into play. latimes.com Workmen are also nearly finished stringing a new power line from the electrical grid to the power plant, which could ease the situation somewhat by providing a stable source of power for valves and controls at the plant and for pumps supplying water to the spent fuel pools. It is too late for the electricity to do much good for the three endangered reactors, however, because their cooling systems all appear to have been damaged by the hydrogen explosions that have wracked the plants. Only external pumps can now be used for those reactors. The status of reactor No. 3 at the site was not clear, with some reports saying that the reactor containment vessel may have been breached and was releasing radioactivity and others saying that it was still intact.
