"A 2011 earthquake in Japan triggered a tsunami that flooded the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant reactors. Over 22,000 people were killed, including over 3,500 linked directly to the nuclear plant's catastrophe"

Directly linked via ridiculous evacuations protocols for low level exposures......and the deaths probably would have been MUCH less if the entire area wasn't DEVASTATED by the tsunami.

geologically,....

Hawaii is crazy unstable,...

slumps, landslides, distal submarine turbidity flows, lobate‐terraced deposits,...

essentially, Midway Island used to be bigger than the Big Island,....

maybe on Oahu's leeward side, maybe on Kauai's southside or maybe around the Kaakaulua Gulch of Maui,....

the licensed operation and DnD years of a nuke plant are a but a moment of geological time,...

BUT - convincing the locals or the expatriates who "know better for the locals than the locals know for themselves",....

well,.....probably not happening,....

A Cat 5 Hurricane hit is definitely in play for a Hawaii site, but it would be a design consideration.
