I have said for ages that in order for the events of Chernobyl to repeat themselves, all that needs to happen is for the cooling system of a power plant to fail and for the reactor to overheat. And I'm really, really hoping for their sake that it hasn't happened - Can you imagine how terrible that would be ontop of an earthquake and tsunami?
Hopefully the superior construction of this power plant compared to the one at Chernobyl means that they can better contain radioactive material. But seriously, this is case and point of why we should stop using nuclear power - Sure, not every country is vulnerable to earthquakes, but does it really need an earthquake for the cooling system and backup generators to fail?

What?! Chernobyl only happened because they were OVERCLOCKING THE REACTOR! Even if there was a meltdown from this power station the blow would be a lot lot lot less severe.
