I'm sure they would have. There are massive rock walls and a harbour built in front of each of the plants. I don't think the Tsunami hit the nuke plants ? I haven't seen any film of this, and the grounds and roads around the plants (that I have seen on TV / YouTube / etc) look spotlessly clean - unlike the nearby towns.

As I understand things (and I could easily be wrong), the quake itself caused the shutdown / issues at the plant.

The current assessment is that this isn't yet as serious as Three Mile Island - but that can easily change. If the fuel isn't cooled, it will melt through the casing.

Even more frightening: One of the reactors also uses a uranium / plutonium fuel - and plutonium is one of the most frightening, toxic, and dangerous of substances.

I agree. I cannot understand how this situation occured.

Even if all the first line pumps and generators were knocked out, there should have been levels of redundancy. Beyond all that, what about sticking some resovouirs of water ontop of nearby hills - just in case all of the pumps fail, all levels of the redundant pumps / generators fail, and the power grid is knocked out.
