Here's what appears to be the original press release that this article (and related ones) are getting this from: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/11080201-e....

"At 2:30 pm on August 1, as radiation level of surface of connection of emergency gas treatment system piping arrangement at the bottom of main exhaust stuck of unit 1 and 2 was detected over 10 Sv/h, keep the area out for restricted area with signature. We will consider countermeasure such as shilding."

Note that it does not mention anything like "too high for measurement".

It is almost always the case that "too high for measurement" means "the guy with the meter is telling you a fish story" or "the guy with the meter doesn't know which end to hold."
