PS. What I said had zero to do with the wall.

It had everything to do with the wall.

Except that when presented with the evidence that Fukushima had a seriously outdated design (it didn't fail to safe and scram the reactor when the power failed) and that its backup power was so poorly sited so as to defy description (they put the backup generator on the beach, so it was the first thing the tsunami took out), they still lost their minds.

The backup power was inside the reactor area behind a 10 meter barrier, not "on the beach". The tsunami was 14 meters high. In addition the quake lowered the reactor area a meter. The backup generators got knocked out inside the 10 meter barrier.
