Fukushima was doomed because the grid went down.

And because of the earthquake tore up the piping carrying coolant.

The tsunami did flood some pumps but that is about all it did.

I'm not sure the details on why Jazcko has made the request he did, but he is right, these plants with their spent fuel pools fifty feet off the ground are death traps. The industry said, remember, Fukushima could never happen. Jazcko, knowing more than you or I ever will about nukes should be heeded.
