Understanding Japan's Nuclear Crisis---two "non-media" sources - deckeda - 03-18-2011
Nuclear reactors 101, which also has info about what took place in Japan: http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2011/03/understanding-japans-nuclear-crisis.ars A very good read, if you haven't read hardly anything else and don't know, in plain terms, what's happened.
In the commentary there's a link to a blog run by MIT students that seems packed with info and commentary: http://mitnse.com/ Haven't looked through it yet.

Thanks! A great (and fairly short) read. I've already shared this with several people.

I watched ABC World News tonight. Their "information" was horrible. "Radiation exposure was as much as 2 x-rays an hour." Plus they did a lovely job blending in Chernobyl info without clearly pointing out they weren't talking about Japan.

Stick with the MIT blog.
The Ars Technica author has no business trying to describe nuclear fission. There's being simplistic, and then there's being just plain wrong.
