Well, duh. I suspected from the first that the quake cracked or shifted the foundation which is why the water kept leaking out the bottom.

"High radiation readings taken in the No. 1 reactor building the night of March 11 suggest it was the quake rather than the loss of cooling that critically damaged the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, a utility source said Saturday. Huh, there must have been something lost in the translation because that doesn't even make sense. It is precisely the lost of cooling that caused the damage, maybe the quake caused the loss of cooling but even that could have been mitigated had the diesels been able to operate within 4 hours of the accident and there wasn't 20 foot of water in the lower levels of the auxiliary and turbine buildings (caused by the tsunami BTW).
