"As of 10.22 a.m. local time,
400 millisieverts of radiation were detected at the No. 2 and No. 3 reactors, Edano said. That’s 20 times the annual limit for nuclear industry employees and uranium miners, according to the World Nuclear Association. A radiation dose of 100 millisieverts a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer is evident, the London-based WNA said on its website."
To give you an idea how high that reading is, being near that reactor now is like getting 4,000 chest x-rays an hour.

"Some 350,000 people involved in the initial clean-up of the
[Chernobyl] plant in 1986-87 received average total body radiation doses of the order of
100 millisieverts (mSv) - a millisievert is a unit of radiation dose equivalent to about 10 general chest x-rays. This dose is about five times the maximum annual dose limit currently permitted for workers in nuclear facilities (20 mSv per year). Average worldwide natural “background” radiation is about 2.4 mSv annually."
