Nuclear energy capacity growth slowing after Fukushima: IAEA (Reuters)
26 Sept 12- The U.N. atomic agency cut its forecast for nuclear energy
growth for a second year as the industry continued to feel the effect
of the Fukushima disaster in Japan and said most of the expansion
would be in Asia.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said its projection for
global nuclear generating capacity by 2030 was down between one and
nine percent compared with last year.

Against expectations before the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in
Japan, the projections are between eight and 16 percent lower.
