The coolant system is still broken though, they're having to release some radioactive vapour (presumably steam) to ease the pressure on the reactor. It's still a bit dicey but I'm confident the Japanese will get it under control, they are quite good at this...although their reactors do leak from time to time and this is an old one...but I think the chances of a meltdown are slim.
Here's an interesting fact, the power of the earthquake has tilted the Earth on its axis by 25cm. Gives you an idea of the raw power behind this event and reminds you we are but little fleas on a very big dog.
