UPDATE, 11:30 am, Monday, March 28, 2011. TEPCO has confirmed that radiation levels in
water inside the damaged reactors is about 100 rems (1 Sievert) per hour. Apparently that’s
only 100,000 times above normal, not 10 million times. Somehow doesn’t make us feel
better…. There are several reports this morning that this highly-radioactive water, which so
far has been limited to inside the reactor buildings, has begun to seep outside.
