Fukushima Ignored Past Tsunami Wave Height Data?


How Could Fukushima Only Expect A 5.5-Meter Wave? Why Did Fukushima Ignore The 1896 Wave Measuring 38-Meters?

It’s hard to imagine. History shows a 38-meter high wave from a 7.6 quake in 1896. But Fukushi Daiichi’s nuclear plant wasn’t expecting a tsunami over 5.5 meters.  I grew up in Tokyo and find it hard to believe the Japanese could make such a gross miscalculation for a tsunami nuclear safety wall.

Historical Japanese Tsunami Wave Heights:
• 38-meter high wave from  1896’s 7.6 quake.
• 8-meter tsunami in the year 869. The tsunami swept 4 kilometers inland at Sendai Bay south toward Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Guess why the Japanese nuclear power plant 75-kilometers closer to the March 11, 2011 earthquake epicenter got through? Tohoku Electric Power Co.’s Onagawa nuclear power plant was designed 15-meters above sea level.

Does this tsunami nuclear safety wall appear ridiculous?  This came from the Bloomberg link.  Nothing warranted. Nothing in this blog site, or linked blogs sites are guaranteed. All linked blogs and sites are for brainstorming innovation, nuclear safety, or whatever paradigm appears important.

Innovative nuclear safety inventors need more clear answers on Fukushima's tsunami nuclear safety wall.

More limited information on Fukushima Daiichi's tsunami nuclear safety wall's lack of smart safety design.

Innovation Institute, LLC is innovating nuclear safety inventions.  Meanwhile, if anyone has more information, please post it here. To date maybe the web lacks easily obtainable information on the Fukushima tsunami wall design.
