-Core Damage Possible at Two (Fukushima No 1 & 3)

The Update is scant on Details : The only specific new information seems to be this: :

"The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said a cooling system pump stopped operating at Tokai No. 2 Power Station, a nuclear power plant, in the village of Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture."

To be confirmed, but if the Nuclear Industry itself is quoting seven, there's probably something in it.

Short term, the electricity outlook for Japan is going to be gruesome.

The nuclear safety section of the prefectural government said the other pump is working and that there is no problem with cooling the reactor. All control rods are set in completely at the nuclear reactor, it said.

That's Tokai
