They are concerned about the steam separating into hydrogen and oxygen and recombining explosively.
This is why they want to vent to release the pressure.

Maybe an older plant? One of the oldest reactors in Japan. Reactor and steam generator both built by GE. Yes. One of ours.

Radioactive emergency team dispatched
The health ministry has sent an emergency medical team to the Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant in northeastern Japan in case people should be exposed to radiation.
The team left the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba City, near Tokyo, on a Self-Defense Force helicopter at 8:10 AM on Saturday.
The group consists of doctors, nurses, and experts on radiation measurement.
The team is now getting ready at a nuclear disaster response center, located about 5 kilometers from the power plant.
