FEMA knew in the 80’s this reactor was a time bomb waiting to happen because of the location it was built on.....earthquake/ tsunami zone on a beach. BTW there was at that time one in California with the exact same problem at that time.

Agreed. I’m still curious how the fuel system for the emergency generators failed. Once the supply in the day tank was depleted, the spent fuel pool cooling system couldn’t operate. The 5,000 gals of diesel in the main tank would have given the operators enough time to take other measures.
