PM of Japan comments:

At plant #1

A 20 km area evacuation is set.

Areas 20 km - 30 km should remain indoors (home/office) and avoid going outside.

For Reactor #1 and #3 they had a hydrogen explosion

He did not talk about reactor #2 instead referring to TEP.

Fire in Reactor #4.

The #2 plant they want everyone 10 km away from the plant.

Act calmly.

Minister speaking now.

#4 reactor only has spent fuel. It was not operating. Trying to contain the fire.

#2 reactor a whole was observed in the reactor. There is very little possibility that a hydrogen explosion would occur in reactor #2. Part of the suppression chamber seems to be responsible or the blast. Smoke seems to be coming from the #2 reactor... but they are not sure what the smoke/steam.

1, 2, 3 - water injection continues and seems to be going smoothly.

Problem is maintaining the cooling over the longer term.

Edano: Reactor number 4....burning, is used as storage for spent fuel

EDIT: several analysis past 24 hours have speculated there is perhaps more danger from spent fuel stored in the facility than from the active reactors themselves.

xyrconium fire.

do you have a link to where it says that it is the fuel storage location?

per ongoing press conference by cabinet minister speaking on NHK right now...also, it is not the sole fuel storage location....just that for some time it has been used for this purpose, as opposed to reactors 1-3 that were still active

Wait a minute... He stated 2 evac zones. So are there problems with a unit at Fukushima Plant # TWO?

Plant 1 - Unit 1, 2 and 3 (the oldest units~ 40 yrs old)

Plant 2- Unit 4?

I can't keep up..

Fukushima #1 Plant - Reactors 1,2,3,4 are having issues....1 and 3 blew their outside buildings. 2 is the one with possible containment problems.....#4 is burning

Fukushima #2 Plant - different plant with different evac zone
