Fukushima Daiichi (Fukushima 1) has 6 reactors. As of right now:
#1: Popped it's cork due to hydrogen gas discharge. Vessel supposedly intact
#3: Popped it's cork due to hydrogen gas discharge. Vessel supposedly intact.
#2: Popped it's cork HARD due to unknown reasons. Believed to have possible damage to the containment vessel
#?: On fire.
That's right, they've got a 4th reactor on fire. This isn't Chernobyl, but it's bigger than TMI '79 as it stands right now.
On the upside, Fukushima Daini (Fukushima II) 15km south did shut all it's reactors down successfully, but they're having the same cooling issues on Units 1, 2, and 4 due to damaged pumps.
