The numerous engineering failures were all preventable, most especially the failed FMEA that allowed an loss of coolant accident to occur as the result of an unanticipated tsunami.
Engineers don’t try to predict what might happen, they design systems like this with sufficient redundancy that the worst case failure modes do not occur.
Wasn’t the reactor also supposed to have been retired 20 years prior, but kept on because of their own environmentalists preventing replacement?
Yeah, like building back up generators on the ground where, if a tsunami did occur, they would be inundated and useless in 3 days. Nice. GE.
Power that would be too cheap to meter. Gotcha!
Atoms for peace!
And we have hundreds of these effin' things all over the world!
And no safe storage for spent fuel rods for ANY of them. Nice going.
