Japanese Tsunami Aftermath - The devastating effects of Friday’s 8.9 magnitude quake in Japan that triggered tsunamis are still being felt. Japan ordered 140,000 people to stay indoors after dangerously high levels of radiation began leaking from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex after a third explosion Tuesday. The nation’s prime minister warned that more leaks could occur. In this image, people line up at a radiation emergency scanning center in Koriyama, Japan, Tuesday. (Photo: AP Photo/Mark Baker)

Europe Reacts - Germany's government on Monday temporarily halted plans to extend the life of its nuclear power plants, as the hydrogen explosions in Japan spread jitters about atomic energy safety in Europe. Switzerland suspended its plans to build and replace nuclear plants and Austria's environment minister called for atomic stress tests to make sure Europe's nuclear facilities are "earthquake-proof." In this image, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the stoppage today.  (Photo: AP Photo/Michael Sohn)
