The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Tuesday that it will send experts on marine monitoring to Japan in preparation for an IAEA-led peer review mission on the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

Two IAEA experts will visit Japan from Nov. 6 to 12 at the request of the Japanese government, the agency said in a press release.

They will observe sea water sampling and data analysis in Fukushima and are scheduled to meet with officials of relevant Japanese authorities to "collect detailed information about the marine monitoring conducted by Japan under its Sea Area Monitoring Plan," said the IAEA.

"The findings of the experts will be valuable input to the Second International Peer Review of Japan's Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap towards the Decommissioning of TEPCO's (Tokyo Electric Power Company) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Units 1-4, which is currently under discussion between the Agency and Japan for dispatch toward the end of November this year," it said.
