Tokyo Electric Power Company, and Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency officials, announced that a shield will be built to entomb Reactor 1, at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

It was discovered that Reactor 1 did indeed experience fuel rod melt down!  To try and reduce the amount of radiation spewing from the reactor a shield will be built around it. Construction will start in June.  TEPCo still has to deal with contaminated water pouring from the building.
