Paper: TEPCO needs to check if high radiation is “spreading” — Two more spots appear to be above 10 sieverts per hour, but no plans to actually take measurements

[...] TEPCO needs to rigorously check to see whether high radiation doses are spreading elsewhere [...]

Three plant workers [...] confirmed the radiation doses [detected near the surface of an exhaust pipe between the No. 1 and 2 reactors at levels exceeding the 10 Sievert per hour maximum of the measuring equipment] at about 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 1. [...]

In a related development, TEPCO said on Aug. 2 that there were two more pipes nearby that apparently showed radiation in excess of 10 sieverts. The utility said it had not actually measured the radiation there and it had no plans to do so because there would be no one working there. [...]
