VIENNA, Dec. 1, Kyodo

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 an interview with Kyodo News and other news organizations, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said, “We’d like to launch (the project) as soon as possible after the turn of the year.”

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.
