Look at this explosion at *47 seconds into the video.
A violent hydrogen explosion, demolishing such a
heavily reinforced containment building, must have
been the result of a badly overheated reactor.

Japan claims the reactor is intact. But that large of an explosion
could have caused all kinds of damage and leaks that
have yet to be found, or admitted by the Japanese govt.

Battle to stabilise earthquake reactors
12 March 2011.
UPDATE 6: 10.15 am GMT
"Three of Fukushima Daiichi's six reactors were in operation when
yesterday's quake hit, at which point they shut down automatically and
commenced removal of residual heat with the help of emergency diesel
generators. These suddenly stopped about an hour later, and this has
been put down to tsunami flooding by the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA).
"The loss of the diesels led the plant owners Tokyo Electric Power
Company (Tepco) to immediately notify the government of a technical
emergency situation, which allows officials to take additional
precautionary measures.
Even now, the primary focus of work at the site remains to connect
enough portable power modules to fully replace the diesels and enable
the full operation of cooling systems."

If the main problem is just getting enough portable power there then
there are portable gas turbine generators capable of putting out 10's
of megawatts. You could also use the power from a nuclear aircraft
carrier at a power range of 200 megawatts, though there might concern
about bringing it off shore in a zone subject to tsunamis.
