Well before this they didn’t think this strong a quake was possible on this faultline. They had already designed for many times stronger than what they thought the worst case scenario could be.

I have heard that the problem wasn’t the reactor but the tsunami that came after. The reactors are on the beach and everything was going well until the waves came in and flooded the backup generators, that were below sea level. If they left the reactor on they would not of had this cooling problem. Or if the reactors where not next to the ocean or below sea level.
