                  TOKYO, Japan - In this photo taken in the town of Tomioka, Fukushima Prefecture, on June 22, 2012, Naoto Matsumura (C) and his friend Kazuo Endo (R) help a pony onto a truck so he can take it home and care for it, doing so at the request of a resident (L) who has returned home temporarily. The town remains nearly deserted as the government in April 2011 designated it and other municipalities within a 20-kilometer ring around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as a no-go zone. The plant's reactors suffered meltdowns after being struck by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami, spewing massive amounts of radioactive materials into the air and sea.
