    I heard that Fukushima was problematic because non-engineers thought it would be easier cheaper?) to put some of the critical infrastructure near the sea rather than on the hill…

      fukushima was problematic because literally everything in the chain of safety that should’ve happened, either didn’t or was ignored, due to callous stupidity.

      If literally any one thing had gone differently, there’s a good chance it wouldn’t have been that bad.

      that is believable, no structures should have been where fukushima was nor with the lacking tsunami protections it had.
