Taiwan sees public backlash over nuclear power

It has been more than two years since the accident at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima Japan.

But the safety of nuclear energy remains extremely controversial, not just in Japan but around the world.

Taiwan has been building a new plant 30km from its capital Taipei.

But opposition has been intensifying and the public may be asked to decide in a referendum later this year whether the construction should continue at all.
