Cnn is reporting Daiichi Nuclear plant is failing and meltdown underway. Also, three randomly tested patients at hospital test positive for radioactive contamination. Sorry this is breaking so not a lot of details. Will update when more info available.

Blitzer just had a Japanese official on and he insists things are still under control. Blitzer and the other CNN journalist seem sceptical, but the chrion has been changed and no longer reads "meltdown underway".
My initial reaction is this official will end up being not up to date on what is going on over there.

CNN is backing off of earlier clame. Has switched to "meltdown possible".
