New Fukushima Daiichi investigation to start
A panel of experts investigating the cause of the accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant will begin full-fledged work in January.

The body is independent from the government. It held its first meeting earlier this month and decided to set up 4 working teams.

Chair Kiyoshi Kurokawa says the experts will examine the interim report on the investigation by the government and Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of Fukushima Daiichi. Kurokawa adds the panel will focus on problems the government and TEPCO were unable to address.
