While the danger of a total meltdown at the reactor appears to be very low, radioactive materials have been detected leaking into the atmosphere along with steam from the plant.

反应堆彻底熔化的危险性看起来很低，可是放射性物质已经被探测到随发电站出来的水蒸气一同泄露到大气中。

In that accident, the lack of a containment vessel surrounding the reactor meant radioactive materials from the accident were spread far and wide.

Tuesday's explosion at the No. 2 reactor in the Fukushima complex, 150 miles north of Tokyo, for the first time raised the possibility that the key containment structure of the unit, which protects the reactor vessel and keeps dangerous radioactive materials from leaking out, had been damaged.
