of the reactors.

Most reactors are located either near the sea or near a river.

But you don't get tsunamis on the Great Lakes, the Gulf Coast, or 100 miles
up the Mississippi. Lets look at a few:

* There are three in Idaho
* One in Fresno
* One in New Mexico
* One each is Iowa, Kansas, and Northern Alabama
* There are two in Dallas and Illinois
* One in Wisconsin and two in Massachusetts

I suggest that planning for a tsunami for the above wasn't even on the list.
