It's totally unclear, as the Japanese government, the Japanese nuclear advisory, the IAEA and independent sources are all giving out different news. If you can read this through, there is now 2 reactors in Fukushima 1 (Daiichi) with melting cores. Fukushima 2 (Daini), about 6 miles from Fukushima 1, has 3 reactors with massive problems in the cooling circle. Almost no information exists about those.
Meanwhile, about 1:46 hours ago, the government declared a nuclear emergency for another nuclear power plant, Onagawa, which has been reported to be on fire right after the earthquake. The fire extinguished, but now there is a serious radiation leak. In short, it's the nuclear hell in northeast Japan. Every other news is just a try to calm things from the government. The situation on at least 2 reactors are completely out of control, and 4 more reactors are in massive danger, with one having a radiation leak.
With this horrible facts, the massive destruction caused by the quake and the tsunami, is almost in the background. Now the citizens of Japan looking to the reactors and the nuclear disaster.
Here is a overview of my Tweets related to the Japan Disaster:
