We can now see the damage from the explosions during the night on #4 and #2.

#4 looks to have had an explosion similar to #1 and #3 while #2 has one wall blown out with ether some smoke or steam coming out of it. If thats smoke coming from #2 when it has a cracked containment chamber it's very likely emitting very high levels of radiation and may be the reason for the evacuation of the workers. #3 has the big white plume of what I'm guessing is steam from the spent rods pool, if all of the water boils off we will have an out in the open meltdown and gaseous release of radioactive isotopes. Again #3 is MOX fuel 7% Pu and the rest Ur oxides.

Every time we get news at this point it keeps getting worse and its not going to change because there isn't a single person there right now doing anything, all the workers have evacuated. #5-#6 look to be in tact and fine but thats just looking at them from the outside, now that theres no one there monitoring anything who knows if those last two will have explosions or spent fuel fires or boil offs.

Update new pic shows no smoke or steam from #1, #3 and #4.

#2 has steam or something coming from the one side and thats the one with the containment crack. #2 might turn out to be the biggest issue as they can't air drop water on it.
