Life in the shadow of a nuclear disaster (AP)

In this photo taken Friday, April 15, 2011, dozens of clocks hang askew on a shop's wall in Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Having survived the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami, most of Futaba was intact, but thousands had to evacuate the city in the wake of the radiation warnings from the neighboring Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear power station. (AP Photo/Hiro Komae)AP – Under a brilliant, cloudless sky, a half-dozen cows and a pony wander freely, batting the flies off their ears and chewing on fresh green sprouts. A pair of friendly Shiba dogs — cautious for just a moment — trot up and wag their tails, expectantly awaiting scraps of food. At the entrance to Main Street is a sign with the town’s motto: “Nuclear Power is the Energy of a Bright Tomorrow.”
