UN inspectors took samples from a fish market near the Fukushima nuclear power plant on Thursday following the release of wastewater from the wrecked facility in August.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team comprising scientists from China, South Korea and Canada were collecting fish, water and sediment samples this week to verify Japan's findings.

Samples will be sent back to labs in the team members' home countries for independent review, and the IAEA will evaluate and publish those results.
