Here's a quote from the Japanese news service Nikkei.com dated today:

"The continued spill from the crack is being blamed for a surge in the level of contamination in seawater near the complex. A water sample taken just outside the water intake of Reactor No. 2, where the radioactive water is leaking from the crack, showed the iodine 131 level was 7.5 million times the allowable limit, according to Japanese media."
