Daiichi (No.1) Units 1 and 3: Primary containment vessels reported as intact.

For Daiichi (No.1) Unit 2, whether or not the hydrogen explosion affected the containment vessel is still pending investigation.

For Daiichi (No.1) Unit 4, the fire that was in the spent fuel storage pond was burning for two hours but has been extinguished.

Daiini (No.2) Units: Units 1,2 and 3 were brought to cold shutdown (conditions at 1 atmosphere and water below 100 deg C, or 212 deg F).

Operators now working closely with Wayne64SS and his 30 open internet tabs to achieve same with Unit 4.
