Fukushima children have thyroid check
FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Children and parents wait for their turn on Nov. 14, 2011, in Kawamata, Fukushima Prefecture, where doctors checked the thyroids of children in the area. The operation is part of a project to conduct health tests on all the approximately 360,000 children and youths aged 18 or younger in the prefecture to see if the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has affected the gland, which in growing children is particularly vulnerable to damage by radiation.
