Massive earthquake in Japan
Benevolance:
Like Samstag said, the reactors survived the earthquake. It's the fact the tsunami cleared a 20ft seawall and knocked out all three sets of backup protocols that has created this problem. To further add to it...almost all of Japan is built on the coast. It's an island. And given that the tsunami traveled inland 10km, one wonders how far inland you'd expect a country to build? :D

I'm just glad that the dolphins and whales are safe for the moment. :applaud:

Seriously. The tsunami did the trouble. If that happened here in CA, San Onofre would be screwed because they are literally on the water, even closer than Japans power plants are.

Youre being sarcastic right?

I think it's theoretically safer from tsunami since the fault is inland, but considering the recent tsunami wrecked a couple of California marinas it'd be a good idea to protect the generators better.
