Seeds for sale in a shop in the extended nuclear evacuation zone that will never be sold in Tsushima, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.  Tsushima residents were forced to evacuate their village after a wind-driven radioactive cloud from an explosion at Fukushima Dai Ichi nuclear power plant scored a direct hit on this valley.  Estimated annual radiation levels exceed 50 millisieverts, making the village unihabitable for years, maybe even decades as Tsushima is one of most irradiated villages in Fukushima Prefecture.
