Japanese government officials say Fukushima plant 1, reactor 4 is on fire.  A hole has been found in reactor 2, which was earlier reported that a loud bang, or explosion sound, heard from inside.

Reactor 4 was being shut down at time of the quake/tsunami.  Exposed rods were spent, but are still radioactive.  Overheating might have caused fire that is currently burning inside the reactor.

Hole in reactor 2 might have been a result of the explosion sound heard from inside reactor.  They speculate there was a hydrogen explosion.

Prime Minister has expanded evacuation area, to 30km.  Japanese asked to stay inside, doors and windows shut, asked not to use air conditioning or any ventilation system.  Japanese government holding emergency meeting to figure out what to to.

Japanese reporters are asking for clarity, because officials seem to be down playing situation, on one hand saying not to worry, but on the other telling everyone to stay inside.  The implication from Japanese reporters is that officials are not telling truth about damage at nuclear reactors.  Officials also say people should stay inside, but, if they can leave to leave.  Reporters pointing out that other sources for radiation readings say radiation readings are “quite high”.  Officials are talking around radiation readings.  Officials now saying that high radiation readings coming from reactor 4, which is on fire.
