They did expect them, and most of the reactors were built with an extreme margin of safety just in case. The one that got fucked up was basically cheaped out on.
That's the thing with Engineers. "Oh we planned for 1 in 100 year events, we'll be fine". Then they cry when the 1 in 500 year event happens and crushes their whole plan.
They never thought to build in a non-Tsunami area. Because that would have been way too logical.
Actually it was built where it was because it has a very solid foundation of bedrock underneath it,
Dude, stop. You're only making it worse for engineers. "Hey guys, look, this is very stable bedrock. Wait, what do you mean we're right in the path of this errupting volcano's lava flow ?".
Again, that's engineers for you. Always getting surprised by that one scenario they didn't plan for, instead of you know, just removing it entirely from the equation.
The plant also used water reactors, so putting it right near the ocean made sense.
No, since water is available outside of the ocean. Just use another water source.
Engineer : "We didn't expect a Tsunami".
Normal people : "The fuck you built it on the shore for".
