Regarding theautomaticearth's reactor map: Good on TEPCO for being bold enough to put six of its seven eggs in the basket of Japan's eastern seaboard – most of the country's other operators opted not to do so – but again, those sites are also the closest to the tri-plate action.
In hindsight, it might have been preferable to have projected beyond the hundred-year Richter sample, considering that a 8.9 quake unleashes 10 times the ground motion and releases about 32 times the energy of the planned-for "worst case" of a 7.9.
