The biggest issue with Fukishima was having their backup generators on the ground and not on the roof...despite multiple warnings about it being a vulnerability.

Earthquake knocked out grid power and backuo generators worked as designed, then the tsunami from the earthquake swamped the backup generators.

It was a human leadership and management failure, not a technology failure.
