You missed my point. Despite all the planning surrounding the earthquakes in Japan, one of them still did damage in an unexpected way. For every nuclear catastrophe, you can easily say that if something was done differently, it would have been averted. Well, it wasn't.

Except it was pretty expected, but someone decided not to bother with it. For me there is a big difference between something could be done to prevent an unexpected event and something should had been done to prevent an expected event but haven't been.

Fukushima Daini, which is on the same coast, with the same operating environment and was hit with the same wave - was shut down successfully.

EDIT: this is just an example what the earthquakes are not a big problem for a nuclear power stations.
