The tidal wave was an event with a high probability of occurrence in Fukushima.
Why was the plant not designed with better foresight?
The answer is that none of them ever are. They pray for them to wear out and be decommissioned before the predictable occurs.
The US is full of failed reactors (a large percentage designed by Babcock & Wilcox) and there is no plan for what to do with them.

I don’t disagree with ‘guns equal freedom’.
Nuclear fission technology is dirty and unsafe. We often don’t know what the freak we’re doing with it. Meltdowns happen, everyone runs around like chickens with their heads cut off, and people get sick and die. I understand nuclear fission technology is necessary for weapons but it is not essential for energy. We have plenty of better, safer alternatives for energy.
What is needed is breakthroughs in FUSION technology which is clean and safe. but so far they have’t overcome the issue of such high temps to make fusion a practical alternative.
In the meantime, I think fission nuclear power plants are stupid and unsafe. I find that people who argue for continued fission nuclear reactors sing a different tune if a plant location is proposed to be next door to them. Nobody wants a fission nuclear power plant near them. Some have had to accept it but nobody likes it because they are potentially risky and dangerous.
