Jeff - From these images, it looks like that as of 3-20-11...
Reactor One had a fuel-pool meltdown and fission was continuing on the date of the picture.
R2 is probably having a reactor meltdown.
R3 had a reactor explosion - very like Chernobyl but for different reasons - and a continuing fission excursion exists.
Reactor 4 had a hydrogen explosion and got a dose of R3 when it blew. R4 could still be experiencing fission excursions in the expended fuel rods.
On 3-23-11, They switched equipment (because they couldn't touch the first drone to service it) and didn't see much.
3-24-11, They switched equipment again (because they couldn't touch the SECOND drone to service it). It looks worse, but it is probably just a more sensitive camera. They are probably waiting for more drones. I can safely describe the situation at R3 as a nuclear excursion in the reactor core. The comparison to Chernobyl is now literal. They are probably waiting for more drones.

Right now at Fukushima Daiichi. More than 70,000 long tons of highly radioactive 'stagnant' water is sitting in the turbine rooms of Reactors 1, 2 and 3, all dressed up and nowhere to go except the ocean - where it is being quietly dumped.White smoke is still emitting from reactors 2,3 and 4.The temperatures in reactors 1, 2 and 3 remain above cold shutdown conditions BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET COLD SHUTDOWN AFTER THE FUEL RODS MELT TOGETHER! EVER!Nitrogen is still being injected into the containment vessel of Reactor 1 faster than it can leak out the bottom. The containment is breached...as in BROKEN.
I believe another explosion is imminent at Reactor 1.The reactor containment vessels of reactors 2 and 3 are still at atmospheric pressure BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL BREACHED!
