It's the reactor building the one that has burst (see diagram). That seems confirmed.

What really matters is the state of the primary containment around the reactor and if cooling water can still be pumped.

However, the debris could hinder an adequate analysis of the state of that primary containment for days.

Moreover, there was another old unit having overpressure problems.
