"Can U guarantee nothing like this will happen to american plant?? Answer is No."
Hold your hive, there beepositive. First, this was one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history (9.0) that moved the *entire country* 8 feet!
Second, there was a freaking *tsunami* that hit the plant (from said 9.0 earthquake) that overwhelmed the existing defenses.
Third, these plants were 40 years old and near the end of their service life. We've learned a lot since then.
So in general, *no* it couldn't happen here--at least for the same reasons.
