Pretty much what I'm wondering. I mean, you're on an island, and you want to build a nuclear power plant. Assuming all possible natural disasters should probably be part of the strategy. Higher ground? Dykes? Many layers of backup power in the event that local power is cut?

Just a thought. I'm not condemning anyone here.
