A flaw that should have been easy to contain with the necessary staff on duty all the time. They weren't. It was the B Team in charge at the time and the boss still wanted to push through an experiment with the rookies. Three Mile island reactor is actually a safer, stronger containment vessel than this Japanses one.
As for the Reactor been earthquake proof... it was certified up to 8.1. the Earthquake was 8.9. That's 5-6 times stronger than design?
