Units 1,2 and 3 are now clear of all undamaged fuel. They now change status from Nuclear Facility to Radioactive Waste Management Facility. Unit 4 (the one that suffered the accident) is due to have its New Safe Confinement (aka The Shelter) complete by 2017. This should help prevent any more radioactive releases and ultimately aid in the dismantling of the stricken reactor. It's a major milestone in the history of this plant.
