The Japanese were told years ago that they could have a meltdown if they lost power to their reactor and the auxiliary generators were not available. The tsunami took out the power to the plant AND flooded the auxiliary generators.

There are designs today that can stop the reactor and the nuclear fission in a passive way where zero power or very little is required to shut it all down. Can someone give a better description of this?
