The nitrogen injection into the Unit 1 reactor containment has started as a precaution to prevent a buildup of hydrogen and oxygen reaching an explosive concentration.
The water level in the Unit 2 tunnel rose 5 centimeters in the last 24 hours which is probably a result of the plugging of the leak. They will be monitoring the tunnel level because an additional 1 meter in the water level would overflow the tunnel. There are 8000 tons (~2.1 million gallons) more radioactive water to release into the ocean from the storage tanks.
