It doesnt matter what you do, mistakes and accidents are inevitable in everything, if you build enough of them a percentage will blow up for a reason that will seem obvious afterwards but wasnt before, Chernobyl wasnt a poor reactor design before it blew up, in fact it was considered impossible to blow up, it was only after they discovered that in a very limited set of circumstances they could blow it up.
Fukishama was designed to be proof against tsunami's, Japan is the most tsunami prepared nation on earth, they took every precaution they could think of, they are a massively technically adept nation, easily as smart as we are, they thought they had thought of all the risks and it wasnt enough
