Nuke evacuees head home

MINAMISOMA, Japan - Evacuees in radiation protection suits from Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, board a bus in Minamisoma, Fukushima, to visit their town on May 27, 2011. Many of the residents, who were forced to evacuate due to radiation leaks from the plant after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, have lost their homes in the tsunami and are making the visit to offer prayers to the victims of the disaster, rather than to go home to retrieve personal belongings.
