Concerns about the future of nuclear energy in Japan

The Thursday aftershock in Japan occurred just north of the stricken nuclear site in Fukushima. Officials there say there are no new signs of damage.
It is raising more concerns about the future of nuclear energy in Japan and the region.
However nuclear energy supplies about one third of the country's electricity. A plan announced last year calls for building 9 new reactors by 2020, and at least 14 more by 2030.
