TOKYO, Japan - Toddlers hold drinking water in plastic bottles distributed by the authorities at a daycare center in Tokyo on March 24, 2011. The Tokyo metropolitan government the same day began distributing 240,000 plastic bottles of drinking water for infants under the age of 12 months in the wake of the discovery March 22 that water at a water purification plant for tap water in Tokyo contained radioactive iodine at levels higher than allowed for infants. Radioactive materials apparently had fallen from a nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture crippled by a massive earthquake and tsunami. (Kyodo)
