    Reina Endo, 7, is screened for radiation during a whole body radiation check at the Minamisoma City General Hospital, just outside the 20km evacuation zone surrounding the tsunami-crippled ***ushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, on March 09, 2012 in Minamisoma, Japan. Radiation is still being emitted from the shutdown nuclear Dai-ichi plant, though much slower than the following weeks after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. At the Minamisoma City General Hospital, over 20,000 people are registered on waiting lists to get their radiation levels measured with a newly acquired whole-body counter.

    A radiation gauge shows a reading of 6.40 microSieverts per hour during a temporary return visit by evacuees to Okuma town, inside of the 20km (12 miles) radius around the tsunami-crippled ***ushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, on February 12, 2012. While nearly a year has passed from Japan's massive 9.0 magnitude quake, for the residents of Okuma town in ***ushima, radiation fears have kept the crisis a real if not always visible and present danger.

    Tokio Ito welds during construction of the first two fishing ships to be built since last year's tsunami destroyed the Kidoura ship building yard, on March 08, 2012 in Kesennuma, Japan. The fishing industry in North Eastern Japan's Tohoku area has suffered greatly after last year's tsunami. Numerous fishing towns had their equipment, factories, boats and livelihoods washed away.

    A stray cat lies on a road in front of the debris of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami on Tashirojima island, known as "Cats island", off Ishinomaki city, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, on March 9, 2012. The tsunami-hit isolated island, well known for more than 80 stray cats who local residents said survived the disaster, is on the way to recovery using the cats as tourist resources.

    Japanese evacuees from the towns inside the nuclear exclusion zone bow as Shinto priests hold a memorial ceremony in the abandoned and irradiated town of Namie in Japan's ***ushima prefecture, on Sunday February 19, 2012. The group of former residents returned to the area for the day to hold a ceremony at the site of the ancient Kusano shrine that was destroyed by the March 11, 2011 tsunami.
