Here is what the IAEA has to say about the situation
http://www.iaea.org/press/?p=3D1133
Japanese officials have also reported that pressure is increasing inside =
the Unit 1 reactor=92s containment, and the officials have decided to =
vent the containment to lower the pressure. The controlled release will =
be filtered to retain radiation within the containment.
TEPCO has a lot more detail
