How much? You can get radiation from mineral water too, just saying.
Out of 16 paragraphs in that article, only ONE pertained to the particular topic of RADIATION DETECTED, the rest was just gibberish about their own guesses PLUS hypothetical case scenarios. No useful information was given, no particular amount of radiation, only "small", no information on the elements found, their half-lives, the particles they're going to break into, etc.. Stuff that, you know, an average readers wouldn't know off the top of their heads BUT reporters should have access to.
The article simply screamed: "HEY GUYZ GUESS WHAT, WE FOUND RADIATION AROUND THE PLANT SO IT MUST BE REALLY BAD CAUSE YOU SEE, RADIATION IS BAD. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW BAD. SCARED? OH WAIT WE HAVEN'T CONCLUDED YET SO STAY TUNED."

Of course it is not, we already know that. The plant was built with an earthquake of 8.1 magnitude in mind, not 8.9.
