ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, SEPT. 4, 2011 AND THEREAFTER - In this Thursday, April 21, 2011 photo a fan rests on the wall of a house in in the deserted town of Futaba, inside the 20-kilometer (12-mile) evacuation zone around the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Chernobyl and Fukushima are some 5,000 miles apart but have much in common. The towns nearest to each of these stricken nuclear power stations, in Ukraine and Japan, whose disasters struck 25 years apart, already reveal eerie similarities.
