The operator of a crippled Japanese atomic power lant said Monday it had measured the highest radiation level since the start of the nuclear crisis, a news report said, dpa reported.
Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said more than 10 sieverts per hour of radiation was recorded on the surface of a pipe located outdoors between reactor 1 and reactor 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Jiji Press reported.
The plant has spewed radioactive material into the environment since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The crisis prompted the Japanese government to raise the maximum annual limit for plant workers to 250 millisieverts from 100 millisieverts.
