The filling of the Unit 1 reactor containment continues at 10 tons per hour.
Pumping of water out of the Unit 2 tunnel into the waste water treatment facility continues. After 9 days of pumping the water level has dropped only 10 cm. They have been working on fortifying the area around the waste water treatment facility in case another tsunami should strike because a large tsunami could breach the facility which would release the highly radioactive water. The water levels in the Unit 3 and 4 tunnels have been rising. The level in the Unit 3 tunnel rose 6 cm in 3 days. It doesn't look like they are getting ahead of the amount of water pooled in the buildings and tunnels.
