Nuclear evacuees briefly return home

MINAMISOMA, Japan - Evacuees from Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, put on radiation protection suits to prepare for a brief visit to their town on May 26, 2011, in Minamisoma, Fukushima. Many of the residents in the town, who were forced to evacuate due to radiation leaks from the plant, will use their visits for a memorial service there for the victims of the March 11 tsunami, instead of going home to retrieve their belongings, as they have lost their homes in the disaster.
