Following up this article.. Tepco to shield reactor1 pool coolant system against the damaged stack / Stopping cooling the pool for 11 days [URL]

According to Tepco, they detected 950 mSv/h near the bottom of the damaged stack on 10/21/2015.

The measuring point was the connection part of sump pit and the stack, which was 0.3 m above the ground. The radiation level has been increasing at this point since they started surveying for some reason.

It was 480 mSv/h on 9/2/2014, but it became 560 mSv/h last December.

It is not identified what is causing the increasing radiation level.
