I speculated on this in an earlier post.  Now confirmed:

"Of particular concern is the runoff at reactor No. 2, which has risen
to within about three feet of spilling out of an outside shaft.
Readings of radiation in this water are at least 1,000 millisieverts
an hour—four times the level emergency work crews at the site are
allowed to experience in a full year. Those levels may be higher
still, but authorities say 1,000 millisieverts is the upper limit of
their measuring devices. It isn't clear why meters that are available
to measure higher concentrations haven't been used."

This could make Chernobyl look like a walk in the park.
