The two disasters, namely Chernobyl and Fukushima were two disasters

WEll that rather ****s Japan then ....

Rolls Royce SMR design is designed to be build on a concrete raft that
can be isolated from ground movement via any one of many different
earthquake proof methods.

It is of course a moot point as to whether you need to design a reactor
to survive a tsunami that kills all its customers...

And AIR the Fukushima reactor actually withstood a far bigger tsunami and
earthquake than even designed for ????


yep twice the size.

No design fault at all. Simply an event that had never been foreseen
