A man was killed by police during a march on the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India on 9 September in the second death connected to a protest movement said to be agitated by foreign activists.
Japan's nuclear debate has intensified considerably with the restart of reactors. Weekly protests at the prime minister's residence have been supplemented by the biggest rally so far and a huge petition.
Citing the plant's low-carbon power production and economic contribution, the Spanish government has wiped away a previous ruling to allow the Garoña nuclear power plant to operate past July 2013 - opening the possibility to continue until 2019.
