TEPCO workers face a long and difficult task. One that’s not going to be made any easier by the constant instrusion and criticism of those with little to no experience in nuclear operations.
My experience is ephemeral, amounting to perhaps a thousand or so hours in operating plants, and none at all with TEPCO’s units. From what I’ve read, I expect they’re trying to clean up containment in order to set interior control points and ventilation that will minimize uncontrolled environment discharge of radiation. Doing so may mean some short-term increases. >PS

I wish there was something we could do to make worker’s task easier - but there isn’t. Likewise, I don’t believe that commentary online will make it more difficult.
I think TEPCO’s behavior brought it the level of critic and commentary that exists now.
