High radiation in reactor building

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/09_23.html

High levels of radiation detected in the No. 1 reactor building at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant may disrupt work to cool the reactor. snip

But 700 millisieverts per hour were detected near the first floor, the largest of the places to be checked.

After the plant became contaminated, the government raised the permissible limit of one-time radiation exposure for workers from 100 to 250 millisieverts.

The detected figure shows that workers would be exposed to a level that would exceed even this raised level in about 20 minutes.
