Fukushima was perfectly fine after the earthquake. The tsunami is what provoked the accident by knocking out the backup generators.

This is not a scenario most plants are remotely vulnerable to. It's reasonable to ask if peoples' worries about a Fukushima repeat are grounded in reality.

Fukushima is simply a good example of how dangerous and expensive nuclear can be when unknown unknowns rear their head.

There are countless black swan events that are exacerbated by having nuclear around.
