Radioactive water from the stricken nuclear plant in Fukushima should be released into the ocean or vaporized into the air, an expert panel advised the Japanese government on Friday.

The panel has been weighing the issue for more than three years, but a decision is becoming urgent as space at the site to store the water is running out.
