"This leak will be continuous until they entomb the entire complex in concrete."

The reactors appear to be built on landfill, the site is waterfront, and it's in an earthquake and tidal wave zone. Will a concrete sarcophagus be able to stop leaks into the ground water and ocean? Will the sarcophagus be able to resist a magnitude 10 earthquake and/or 700 foot tsunami for as long the entombed reactors will remain radioactive?

Probably not, but what is the alternative?
