Power restored to Fukushima reactor 2 and Unit 3 and 4 should have power in a few days

Tweet Wall Street Journal report - Tepco also said Sunday afternoon that it restored power supply to the No. 2 reactor. Power restoration to reactors No. 1 and No. 2 had been expected by Sunday afternoon, after being pushed back from Saturday afternoon. The delay was due to workers having to shield many pieces of equipment from the water spraying operations.

External power for units 3 and 4 should be in place 'in a few days time', said Tepco.

That would mean that power would be restored to all six of the reactors at that point. (unit 5,6 were first and now units 1 and 2 and in a few days 3 and 4.
