Aftershock to Hit Japan Deepens Power Crisis
A 7.1 magnitude aftershock rattled northeastern Japan, causing more widespread blackouts and hampering recovery from the March 11 9.0 quake. Officials said over 450000 homes lacked electricity while gas stations faced shortages and stores rationed basics. Nuclear plants briefly ran on diesel before rejoining the grid. The epicenter was near Sendai, near the March 11 quake zone.

Americans respond cautiously to nuclear emergency risk
An AP GfK poll shows most Americans doubt the U S government could handle a nuclear disaster, yet few think such an event will occur. About 60 percent oppose building more plants, up from 48 percent in 2009. Nearly a quarter feel a disaster is highly likely, while seven in ten see it unlikely.
