IAEA aims to start joint project in Fukushima early this year



The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Saturday the U.N. nuclear watchdog aims to start a joint project with the Fukushima prefectural government early next year to address the March 2011 nuclear accident.
…….In the joint project, the IAEA and the Fukushima government are expected to engage in such operations as radioactive decontamination and health management services for local citizens.

The aim of this project is to learn and share what they learned from the Fukushima disaster.  However I guess it’s more likely that they are going to decide whatever convenient for promoting nuclear power rather than for safety of the citizens.  So I think we need to watch that all sorts of regulations to do with ionizing radiation might be raised up and probably be shared with the other nuclear power hosting countries in the world in line with what’s happening in Fukushima.
