Or just put the generators on stilts, in a bunker, or simply hardened them against flooding.

There were other design flaws, too, like venting hydrogen inside the building rather than outside.

Indeed. I'll point out, however, that the Error Cascade began with the loss of the underground backup generators - hydrogen would not have been a problem if the backup generators were operative.

Yes. The way to a robust system is to stop every link in the zipper effect, not just the initiating event.
