'Nothing wrong' with Fukushima water release says nuclear expert

"From a radiation protection perspective, there is nothing wrong with the Japanese plan" to release treated water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, says Tony Hooker, associate professor at the University of Adelaide's Centre for Radiation, Education and Innovation.

On Sunday, Japanese premier Fumio Kishida said his government has not yet decided when to begin the process, known as ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System), which has sparked anger from critics both overseas and in Japan.
