Just followed the press conference from Japan that updated the situation.
As of this writing, there is a fire around reactor 4. There is no fuel on fire, yet, but this will not be an easy fire to put out.
There is a leak in reactor 2. The extent of the leak is being hid in the TEPCO translation.
These are the figures passed around:
30mSv/h (30,000 uSv) near Unit-2 & 100mSv/h (100,000 uSv) near Unit-4.
This is legit contamination. The fire is producing higher contamination, and we will know more about that once the fire is out.
Pray for those firefighters. That is one fire no firefighter wants to ever fight in their life.
This is not a meltdown yet, but there is a contamination problem at Fukushima and it will contribute to making everything else hard. The government is advising total evacuation 20km away and stay indoors of 30km.
