As stated, everything in Japan is built to survive earthquakes not 10m tsunami's. That particular plant was due to be shut down in the next year or so because it's outdated.

Good point about the bulletproofing Jerry but for most household things redundancy has been built-in to last just outside the warranty. A small part of the reason China has grown so much (no warranty). I know building a reactor should have no limitations but of course there was cost equated into putting the spent rods over the reactors. They nearly got the full life from the plant without a hitch but now there are dire consiquences.
