IAEA team to probe Fukushima nuke plant's radioactive water leaks

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said its mission will visit the crippled Fukushima No. 1 plant for finding the reasons behind leakages of radioactive water.

Yukiya Amano, director general of the IAEA, told reporters in Washington that the mission will be on decommissioning Fukushima No. 1 and "it covers the contaminated water issues," the Japan Times reports.

According to the report, the IAEA sent a similar team of experts to the No. 1 plant in April to conduct an on-site survey of preparatory work for dismantling the complex.
