Quick note: Here are two sites I’ve come across that help explain, in technical terms, what’s happening with Japan’s nuclear reactors.
- Mitnse.com, from MIT’s Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, has status updates, background information, and diagrams like the one you see here.
- The Neutron Economy, a blog by what appears to be scientists in the U.S., has links to good explainer pieces and other info.
And a reminder: Here’s my Japan news Twitter list. It’s got 39 feeds, and I’ll continue to add more.
