The reason for the building blowing out: "Edano said due to the falling level of cooling water, hydrogen was generated and that leaked to the space between the building and the container and the explosion happened when the hydrogen mixed with oxygen there." It looks like they're about to use this: Low Pressure Coolant Injection System (LPCI) Then this: Standby Liquid Control System (SLCS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Water_Reactor_Safety_Systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Water_Reactor_Safety_Sy... Looks like they've given up saving the reactor.
