Your just making it all up show me some hard evidence
Dude, there has been an unprecedented earthquake in that part of the world. Of course force majeure could come into it, there is not always someone to blame you bad Daily Mail reader.
The key would be due diligence, if that is proven which I imagine of course it will be for a nuclear plant, then an extraordinary circumstance like this could still cause it to fail.
Let them bury their dead before you bring a lawsuit man.

Lets just say lad the NGO's will line up to sue them. That's a fact.
They must be over engineered. But the inability to simply bring in a plug in generator and pump system, will be a massive oversight by the company that should have been addressed post-1995.

OECD paper
http://www.oecd-nea.org/pub/newsletter/2009/27-2/1-The financing.pdf
Description of principal risk
Natural disasters,
force majeure
Earthquakes and other natural disasters (according
to region), which could cause damage to plant
and forced outages; security risks and threats of
terrorism, which could add to costs
Primary risk taker(s) and possible mitigation
Owners. Licensing and design requirements
for seismicity, etc.; insurance; avoid politically
unstable regions; physical security measures
Declaring Force Majeure will not absolve liability in the nuclear industry lid.
If this were the EU or US the operators would be prosecuted under Environmental Protection legislation if not corporate negligence litigation from NGO's.

I don't think they will be lining up to sue them mate.
I think that there will rightfully be an enquiry but that's natural for anything which pose a massive humanitarian risk, like the nuclear power station. But I'd think it would be to identify learnings rather than blame, blame, blame.
It was pretty much a nine on the Richter scale. Crazy stuff.

Apparently the worst Earthquake ever in Japan and something like 30 times worse than they've ever suffered before? Not sure I heard that right.....anyone else hear that?
I've had to send my fair share of "we're thinking of everyone etc" emails today at work. Just can't believe how many countries I had to send that too off the back of this!! The past year has been something the world won't forget

Given that SOFC generators a portable, cheap and readily available. You could have a 100KW generator and pump on the back of a truck for less than US$10million.
SIEMENS build them as do others.
In a US$5 billion power plant not having modular back up equipment that can be moved around by the military if needed is unforgivable.

Not all of Japan's been affected. The south west of the country hasn't been.
A Chinook could lift two of these things into position in one trip.
The UK has several auxiliary power systems put away, or with contractors as part of UK Resilience - i.e. contingency planning and preparation these can be moved around.
Corporate telephone exchanges are required by law to have generators with 5 days power
