I think I just heard NHK say that the level of radiation was 50 millisieverts and that was higher than what they would allow the helicopters to operate in.



"URGENT: SDF choppers unable to drop water on nuke reactor due to radiation

TOKYO, March 16, Kyodo

The Self-Defense Forces will not conduct a planned operation Wednesday to drop water from helicopters on the troubled No. 3 reactor of the Fukushima nuclear power plant because of the high radiation level around the plant, Defense Ministry officials said.

The Ground Self-Defense Force helicopters were on standby to drop water on the reactor as it is feared the reactor may have released radioactive steam due to damage to its containment vessel.
