High rad levels, again

Just a note here that I've heard three reports now that the workers that received radiation doses of 170 mSv in the basement of number 3 plant were standing in water where the rad field reading at the surface of the water was 400 millisieverts/hr. That corresponds to 40 R/hr. Their dose, then, corresponds to 17 Rem.

This is much like the radiation field in the same place at the No. 2 plant reported here a couple days ago. This high radiation field will surely hamper efforts as will the contaminated water pooling in the basements.

UPDATE- Now TEPCO says "3.9 million becquerels per cubic centimeter" in the water in the No. 3 plant turbine building basement. This is 105 microcuries per cc. Is this even believable? We will see.
