Just an update - the spent fuel pools I was mentioning earlier have been confirmed to have water in them (which is great news) and while the temperature is a little higher than normal its not anything that cant be controlled easily.
All of the other reactors are doing fine and are shutdown and cooled down - at both plant sites in Japan - with the exception of one unit (#3) at the Daiichi site that is currently being sprayed from copters with cooling water to control the temperature and avoid damage to the reactor.
