Fukushima happened due to an act of God; an earthquake and a massive tsunami accompanying it. There was nothing more they could have done to protect that power plant, and I understand that it was up to par when it came to safety.

Oh, I don't know. They could have remembered that they live in a country that's prone to earthquakes, with a history of tsunamis, and thought that maybe building a nuclear power plant right next to the ocean might not be a great idea.

And they built a massive (the largest at the time) reactor elsewhere in Japan on top of a sizable fault line. :(
