It was just days ago that the propaganda machine was stating that a new air filtration system installed in Fukushima No. 1 reactor had reduced radiation levels enough to safely allow workers into the damaged reactor. Apparently the Japanese authorities must now consider 2 SIEVERTS/ Hr as a safe level of radiation.
From Yomiuri:
2,000 millisieverts, or 2 sieverts, per hour radiation was detected inside the southeast double door of the Reactor 1 reactor building. Measurement was done by a remote-controlled robot on May 13. The location is where the pipe is that goes into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV).
3,000 tons of contaminated water probably leaked from the RPV and the Containment Vessel was found in the basement of the reactor building (where the Suppression Chamber is). TEPCO suspects the water is leaking from the seams of the pipes that connects the Containment Vessel body and the torus-shaped Suppression Chamber.
Now, TEPCO's new plan is to circulate the contaminated water in the basement back into the RPV to cool the RPV.
Also note how TEPCO found a whopping 3,000 tons of contaminated water in the basement of the reactor building. For those who recall, TEPCO pumped 10,000 tons of water into the reactor to cool it!
This means 7,000 tons of highly radioactive water are currently on their way straight into the Pacific Ocean.
