So how hard is it to build a truck sized enclosure that resists 30 foot of water? Im serious, I dont get it. Even if the generators would shut down while submerged (as if a breather or oxygen supply would be that hard), I dont see any reason why it would be difficult to make a generator or generator housing that survives a tsunami. First of all there is no reason I can think of to place such an absolutely crucial backup device in harms way to begin with, just raise the bloody thing 20+m, its not like the plant has no buildings taller than that, or make a watertight bunker, or do both. Surely it cant be as hard as say, building a nuclear reactor?
First thing I find on google:

sigh... Did you see the before and after pictures? How about the flotsams such as houses and cars?
You know this thing has been around since 1971 right?
Do you understand the size of the generators?
