Merkel's decision was puzzling because Germany is not known for earthquakes or tsunamis.

The Fukushima reactors withstood the earthquake and tsunamis. The meltdowns were caused by electrical failures. That can happen anywhere. Now that the cost of nuclear failure is clear and has been repeated several times, nuclear power is over.

Did these reactors have containment vessels, like here in the US? I thought that they didn't.
