Efforts have resumed at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to restore electrical power and cool its overheated reactors, seriously damaged by the 11 March earthquake.
The work was interrupted after emissions of white vapour and smoke from two of the reactors.Japan's chief cabinet secretary says it is impossible to say what the cause is.
The plant's operators are unable to see what's going on inside the buildings housing the reactors, he added.
Workers at the plant have been battling to cool reactors and spent fuel ponds to avoid a large-scale release of radiation.
On Tuesday morning, police said the death toll had risen to 9,079, while 12,645 people were listed as missing.
More than 350,000 people are still living in evacuation centres in northern and eastern Japan, many of them short of food and water.
The Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yukio Edano, said a new government committee would meet regularly to co-ordinate with social agencies and ensure the evacuees were getting the support they need.
The government has also relaxed stockpiling rules on fuel wholesalers in a bid to get more fuel to the affected areas.
