Um, I think we have a problem.

Anyone care to speculate what effect a storm surge of >5 metres would have on an already damaged power plant, not least if it breaches the drywall and washes yet more radioactive material into the sea?

Ironically a storm surge was one of the criteria for the existing wall height, shame no-one said at the time "Build it 15 metres high, its worth it just in case"... !

An ocean is the best place to flush radiolytes into. Its full of
deuterium and infinite ion migration systems and more likely
feeds fissures that direct rogue isotopes from outer space into
the superheated molten core.

Everything on the planet eventually gets back to the sea.

All the puny nuclear reactions accelerated by mankind never
ever leave the planet, except in RTG powered space probes.

@Conundrum
Although the meltdown did expose the core, large amounts of fuel rod shrapnel were not ejected into the environment like Chernobyl.

Japan has censored most reports, but it is clear that temporary concrete and a sodium silicate based surface sealant was used to reduce leaks.

There may be some flooding at the facility, but in general the risk of catastrophic structural failure is low.

Note, chances of Godzilla attack up 23.51%...

Who or what articles do you cite for this claim ?
