Lessons learned: nuclear power is pretty darn safe, although you shouldn't build 50s-style reactors near the coast in a tsunami zone. If you do, don't live nearby. No surprises there.

Is it really the same reactor design?

Are they doing anything in light of the Fukushima disaster?

No, but similar age I think

I believe they put out some press releases telling people how safe it was.
