Tepco announced last week that what was recorded as 900,000 becquerels per liter of deadly beta radiation from a test-well last July was wrong and the actual level should read 5 million becq per liter. That’s five times more than what they announced previously, and nearly 170,000 times more than the permissible level. ……………http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/Fukushima-radiation-data-is-wildly-wrong-management-apologizes/articleshow/30163944.cms
