   How so?  It looks like it worked like it was designed to work.  The
   problem is, a decision had been made about making a seawall only a
   certain height, and putting the switching circuitry in the basement
   which could be flooded.  No doubt both these decisions had been
   approved by the Japanese involved.
   Now, if it had been determined later that they wanted to protect
   against much larger earthquakes and higher tsunamis, they could have
   increased the seawall height and sealed the basement of the reactor
   better.  They chose not to do so.
