The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said on Friday he was aware that one or two experts behind the report greenlighting Japan's release of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima plant may have had concerns.
"There have been some ideas to the effect that one or two experts would have been against (the report)," Rafael Grossi told Reuters in his first interview since vouching for the safety of a plan that has faced criticism at home and abroad.
Asked to clarify whether there was concern among any experts behind the report, which included participants from 11 countries including China, the fiercest critic of Japan's plan, Grossi added: "I heard that being said ... but again, what we have published is scientifically impeccable."
