Comment It be 12m above sea - max Tsunami: 7m (Score 5, Informative) 122
This must be the most moronic article I've read in a long time.
3/4 of the way down the text it says the only relevant piece of information: "Minhaj said concerns about the effect of a tsunami are also overblown because the new reactors are being built on a rock ledge about 39 feet above sea level."
That's 12m above the sea. The tsunami generated by a mag 9.0 earthquake is expected to be between 0.9m and 7m high - so the plant will have 5m margin ABOVE THE WORST CASE.
Shut up everyone, you've been lied to.
