I assumed that a tsunami is known as a natural result of an earthquake in Japan.

If this tsunami encroached as far as 7km or whatever, I think it would be common sense to locate a nuclear power facility much further inland than that.

You're right the Japanese are very good at designing their buildings and cities to withstand earthquakes, and have been for many years now.
