Exclusive: The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog said that one or two of the team of international experts behind its report greenlighting Japan's release of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima plant may have expressed concerns
Asked whether there was any disagreement among the experts behind the report, which included participants from 11 countries including China, the fiercest critic of Japan's plan, Rafael Grossi told Reuters he had heard such reports.
Grossi said none of the experts had raised concerns with him directly and he did not elaborate on how he had heard of the issue. Beijing has blasted the IAEA's report saying the watchdog should not be endorsing a plan which poses risks to marine life and human health, despite assurances from Japan and the IAEA that it will have a negligible environmental impact.
