A woman who came for a brief visit to her home walks under a sign reading «Nuclear Power — The Energy for a Better Future», at the entrance of empty Futaba town, inside the exclusion zone in Fukushima prefecture September 22, 2013. Decades ago, the citizens of Japan’s Futaba town took such pride in hosting part of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex that they built a sign over a promenade proclaiming that atomic power made their town prosperous. Now, they are scattered around Japan with no clear sign of when they might return to their homes. A total of 160,000 people were ordered to leave their homes around Daiichi plant after the government announced the evacuation following the nuclear disaster in March 2011.
