A team of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency is on its way to Japan to review the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Team leader Juan Carlos Lentijo left Vienna, Austria, for Tokyo on Saturday. Lentijo is director of the Agency's division of nuclear fuel cycle and waste technology.
He will be joined by 12 experts, including several specialized in reactor decommissioning.
They are scheduled to visit the Fukushima plant from Wednesday through Friday. The team will assess decommissioning work at reactors 1, 2 and 3, which suffered core meltdowns.
Before departure, Lentijo said the team will look closely at how plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, is dealing with leaks of contaminated water from underground tanks.
He said he wants to confirm that TEPCO staff and organizations are working effectively to address the problem.
