Sad to say, but the nuclear industry (and now people) will bear the cost of cutting corners. Japan, courtesy of General Electric, isn't the only nation to permit the construction of nuclear facilities in tsunami zones. In California, one can see nuclear facilities in these zones as well . Look at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon plants. They are tsunami inundation zones and on seismically active plates.

Incredibly poor planning, I'd say. So how is the industry going to address these issues? Id say how this is done will say far more about the future of nuclear energy than anything else. And I've been a proponent of nuclear energy!
