What are the effects on the nuclear power plant in japan after the tsunami hit?

A nuclear explosion is not possible in the design of a modern nuclear power plant but the problem is radioactive material being released into the atmosphere and nearby environment. If radiation is released into the atmosphere then it can travel many miles from the site of the nuclear plant or into the water system. The cleanup of a nuclear meltdown and radiation leak includes costly monitoring and decontamination of the radiation-affected areas.
