Tokyo, Rabi'II 28, 1436, Feb 17, 2015, SPA -- A team of international experts expressed concern Tuesday about increasing amounts of radiation-contaminated water at a crippled Japanese nuclear plant, dpa reported. About 350 tons of toxic water are generated daily in the process of cooling three reactors at the Fukushima plant that suffered meltdowns during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. "The situation ... remains very complex, with the increasing amount of contaminated water posing a short-term challenge" at the plant, Juan Carlos Lentijo, head of the 15-member International Atomic Energy Agency team, said at the end of its 9-day mission. --SPA 14:21 LOCAL TIME 11:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
