Japan: Living in nuclear limbo

The coastal town of Minamisoma in Fukushima prefecture lost 1,470 of its residents to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami; five weeks on, what remains of the population is living in a state of nuclear limbo. Within days of the start of the nuclear crisis Minamisoma’s population of just over 70,000 had fallen to just 10,000, as fleets of buses took petrified residents to evacuation centers hundreds of miles away.
