I was being facetious, Japan has written records of tsunamis going back a more than a thousand years. They designed a reactor, sited on the seashore, that survived the earthquake and didn't figure that there would be tsunamis to deal with. Although you can't design for every possibility (say the planet Mars coming out of its orbit and smacking into the power plant) but how much more expensive would it have been to site the generators and control panels on the second floor instead of in the basement, considering the possible consequences?
