Slight increase in radiation around Chernobyl nuclear site in Ukraine. No cause for alarm. Dose is currently 5.88E-5 Sv/h. (Extremely less than 1 rad/hour.)

Radiation readings around Chernobyl are inconsistent with a release of radiation from the reactor. Could be environmental from equipment kicking up irradiated soil. Or it could be delayed reporting from some sensors accounting for disparate readings.
