The rate quoted last night was 400 millisieverts per hour when right next to reactor #2. That amount of radiation will make you seriously ill after about two and a half hours. However it was for the moment localized. The front gate was only getting 3 millisieverts. That still isn't good and would make you seriously ill after a few weeks of exposure. They are going to have to rotate crews and one control room now can only be entered for a few seconds at a time. Running out of skilled personnel as more and more of their people hit their annual radiation dose and have to stay away from the plant for the foreseeable future.

Here is the info reported last night.
Between #2 and #3 reactors - 30 millisieverts
#3 - 400 millisieverts
#4 - 100 millisieverts.
#3 has the MOX fuel.
#2 has the admitted defect in the containment vessel.
#4 has the spent rods in a pool where there was a fire.

Earlier I was seeing the microsievert unit used. Until we know what “unit” they are talking about we are just wild ass guessing unfortunately.
If they are indeed using millisieverts now, that is a whole nother can of poop.
