Meanwhile, back in Japan:

12:00 27 March
NEWS ADVISORY: Over 1,000 millisieverts per hour found in water at No.2 reactor

At 1 Sievert/hr rate workers will not be able to be in there but a few minutes before their yearly quota of radiation is reached.

11:35 27 March
NEWS ADVISORY: Radioactive iodine 1,850 times limit in sea near plant, up from Fri.

I’m not too concerned about the sea (which already has vast quantity of radioactive isotopes), but if they are increasing flow of water into the 4 buildings and their parts, more water will flow out and thus carry with it the water soluble compounds. If the amount of radioactive material is increasing at the outlet into the sea, that means there is a heck of a lot of radioactive material free in those buildings.

This problem is going to drag on for a long time.
