What+is+happening+currently+in+the+reactor?

The current position in Fukushima is as followed:

1. Core Status Update: Unit (nuclear reactor) 5 and 6 is currently in cold shutdown. Unit 1, 2 and 3 all have fresh water continously pumping into their reactor through newly switched diesel generators instead of fire truck. Water level inside the three cores has reduced from 40cm to 20cm. Contaminated water are being pumped, condensed and stored at Unit 2 and 3. The temperature in Unit 1 had decreased from 323 Celsius to 281 Celsius; Unit 2 has an increased in temperature from 154 Celsius to 177 Celsius; Unit 3's temperature is at 75 Celsius. As for the physical state, Unit 2 has an intact but badly damaged roof; Unit 3's roof had been blown apart; while Unit 4's entire wall structure had collapsed.

2. Casualty's Status Update: The amount of deaths had stayed at 5 personnels that were part of the original Fukushima 50. Injuries, radiation sickness had effected a few personnels but they have all had medical attention.

3. Radiation Levels: The radiation level at Fukushima's reactor and surrounding immediate area is at 170 millisieverts per hour. Tests from the surrounding land, and ocean shows that radiation level are really high, 100000 times higher than the water surrounding a working nuclear factory. Food radiation contamination was not discovered in a recent test of 35 samples of many different food.
