The following provides a good cutaway view of the type of reactors
at Fukushima nuclear power plant.

It also provides information as to the fate of some of the
unfortunate workers. "A seriously injured worker was trapped within
Fukushima Daiichi unit 1 in the crane operating console of the
exhaust stack and is now confirmed to have died."
If you look at the cutaway view in the above, and the post explosion
photo of the site:

it is clear the crane was located up in the the top of the building.
It appears there was crane access to some kind of control rod storage
located in the upper right side of the cutaway drawing. It is
difficult to tell if anything remains of this storage area or the
crane in the after photo. It looks like no siding remains, only steel
beams.
Many of the new reports talk of "crumbled" roof or walls. This
appears to be a great distortion. The explosion shock wave, and large
chunks of debris flying 100's of meters up and to the left and right
can be seen in the video:
