The containment shell can be breached, that's the last major issue we face. If the core meltsdown and the containment shell remains intact then the problem is largely avoided.

However, a Japanese cabinet member just said that they are detecting weaknesses in the containment shell of reactor unit 3.
And just as I type this, an explosion at Reactor 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12740843

You really don't think it's a possibility that the containment unit can be breached?
