> That is what I have been hearing all morning myself, that the 1 and 3 reacotrs are in a meltdown state already. I also keep hearing that the containment on one reactor has been destroyed in the explosion but Im not sure if they are just talking about the containment building or the vessel and if the exposed rods means to the atmosphere or what. I would imagine exposed rods would see a huge radiation spike if it was to the atmosphere

I think it is probably the plant building, like #1 and #3. If the actual containment vessel is breached, it will be a dooms day scenario and I am sure we will hear about it.
