Yes, as per the link I gave in another reply:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23779560

"Having initially reported high levels of radiation - of about 100
milliSieverts per hour near the leaked water within the moat -
officials had to concede later that the equipment used to take the
readings had an inadequate scale. When newer equipment was brought in,
it was established that the levels of beta radiation had actually been
18 times higher. Subsequent readings have been up to as much as
2,200mSv per hour. While still extremely high, experts say that,
properly protected, workers can still operate in such an environment."

that is deliberate misinterpretation of the facts.

No, you're the only person doing that.
