This is 204 sieverts per hour completely outside the reactor. Death is the expected outcome if exposed to 6 sieverts. Since this is Reactor #1, whose containment building exploded, it means you have instant-death levels of radiation outdoors. It’s suspected that the levels have been this high for quite some time and they just started reporting the truth this week. If their reports of a sudden quadrupling in radiation are accurate, it means that a new massive escape of ultra-radioactive, even critical, fuel is occurring far outside the reactor itself.
