Liu Senlin is cited in the IAEA report but says it was released in haste and there was no consensus from experts about outcomes, says Chinese media.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) did not discuss revisions of the report about the plan to release water from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power station into the ocean according to Liu Senlin, one of the nuclear experts cited in the report.
Liu, who is a researcher for the Chinese Institute of Atomic Energy, believes the IAEA did not fully consult external experts before releasing the report.
According to an article in the official Science and Technology Daily on Thursday, Liu echoed the sentiments of Deng Ge, secretary general of the China Atomic Energy Authority, who said the report was not representative of all expert opinions .
“After receiving the feedback, the IAEA secretariat hastily released the report without discussing again the revision of the report with various experts and the adoption of opinions,” said the article, citing Liu.
