Here and here (English) you will find assessment of the situation in reactors cores. Apparently, core 1 has undergone almost total fusion.
Grim!

They have a barge to "store" 10,000 tons of radioactively contaminated water but they already have that to get rid of! also a floating radioactive waste ship is a ticking time bomb in itself, given the chances of more accidents!

At last they seem top be using robots to clear debris.
