530 Sv/hr seems like a surprisingly high amount of radiation.

For reference, 300 Sv/hr was coming from the immediate vicinity of the Chernobyl reactor when the firefighters arrived. [^1]

Yes. It is. But Safecast highlights the fact that we don't know if it's rising. Cause Tepco just measured something that has never been measured before.
