just got back from a week there.

This caught my eye though:

Not terribly tsunami-prone though. And designed for magnitude 9

Slightly lazy journalism I thought, centred on "lack of primary
containment".

The other point, of course, is that at any time some plant has to be the
"most dangerous". Quite reassuring that it is 40 years old and unlikely
to continue operating for much longer. Also, not unreasonable for plant
in poorer countries to be built to lower standards.
