    The document summarizes the status of reactors and spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 21, 2011. Reactors 1-3 had damaged cores with low reactor coolant system pressure and lower than half of fuel remaining. Seawater was being injected into the reactors via firemain systems. The containment structures had varying damage levels with the secondary containments lost for reactors 1 and 3. Spent fuel pools for reactors had varying levels of spent fuel stored and decreasing time margins for pool water levels. Common spent fuel pool maintained 6,000 bundles at 57C with spraying on March 21. Offsite power was connected to unit 2.
