These sites are providing very useful, timely information on the situation in Japan:

-The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is posting periodic updates from Tatsujiro Suzuki, a Japanese expert on nuclear power, who is following events in Tokyo.

-Jeffrey Lewis at armscontrolwonk is posting daily updates from the Washington DC Office of the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan (FEPC) .

-The Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF) is posting updated status charts on the Dai-Ichi and Daini nuclear plants.

Translating times between Japan and the US:

JST = Japan Standard Time = GMT + 9

EDT = Eastern Daylight Time = GMT – 4

so H:00 JST  = (H:00 – 13:00) EDT
