AdamD some good points japanese asking questions.

On why near the see my understanding was they would deliberately use salt water as emergency cooling. Problem is its can erode but they felt it was short gap measure.

I agree strange considering tsunami risks but actually did have good safety reason..

Sadly like aircrafts when they have what known risk management to costs. Why build say for 8 level earthquake costs enormous we only have 5 level earthquake. Costs overbearing reason for certain reasons. Hopefully like aircraft accidents they learn lessons .

The earthquake to be fair was very big seen the damage caused in bed of see like a staircase each level huge each. It caused really strong tsunami.

Not sure if japanese could built it stronger although mistakes in design like backup generators. If it would been in land it would likely ended a meltdown.
