I don't think it's a mix up. Isn't stating that "possible nuclear fission in two reactors" redundant, considering they are NUCLEAR FISSION plants?

Sensationalism at its finest. A couple of reactors may/are in meltdown, which means they're going to melt into goo at the bottom of their plant, and maybe release a bit of radioactive steam into the air (which is why the area surrounding the plants have been evacuated).
