Bad news. The official is not ruling out the possibility that #3 has also melted down. If this has happened this means that the plant will have lost 2 major reactors and a good amount of its total power generation ability. Bad news for the economy of Japan.
Notice how I am more worried about economic damage than stupid worries over radiation. You get MUCH more exposure from a a long flight and MANY times more just standing outside than whatever this reactor could do outside of the local area.
Since there are different types of ionizing radiation and we do not yet know which one was, or will be, released from the plant I would not be so quick to dismiss serious health risks caused by a partial breach of the reactors containment.

A partial meltdown has probably already happened. The fuel rods are also slowly cooling down with every hour because the chain reaction comes to a halt, so it will probably not become another chernobyl.
The danger is still very high with chances of further hydrogen explosions and holes in the reactors containment that might release additional radioactive material. So far I would say that Japan is safe.
About the US reactors. Some of them are dangerously close to the zone were a big earthquake is expected to happen. Building the reactors in such a zone strikes me as terminal stupidity. The only reasonable option would be shut down each plant in, or very close to such a natural disaster zone immediatly.

[sarcasm] Sure, dangerous amounts of radioactive substances were never released from the damaged reactors. The traces of plutonium found in the soil are also totally harmless and only found because some evil green eco-terrorists planted the evidence. It is a conspiracy. [/sarcasm]
