JAPAN-QUAKE-NUCLEAR
A pharmacist at the Koriyama Ciry Public Health Center tries to a mix of potassium iodide and simple syrup to mask the taste for children of residents and evacuees in Koriyama in Fukushima prefecture, 60 kms west of the Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) Fukushima nuclear plant on March 17, 2011. Japanese military helicopters dumped tonnes of water onto the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant northeast of Tokyo on March 17 in a bid to douse fuel rods and prevent a disastrous radiation release. Iodide tablets reportedly reduce the risk of thyroid cancer from radiation exposure but could also put users at risk of allergic reactions and problems with thyroid glands. AFP PHOTO / Ken SHIMIZU
