Nuclear power plants are advertised as safe, that all contingencies are covered. Your suggestion that the designers had not considered the possibility of a tsunami on the West of Japan is unlikely.

Just had a look at this.

WHY WEREN’T THESE PRACTICES AND ACTIONS CARRIED OUT AT FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI?

<<There is no simple answer to the question of why there were major safety deficiencies in the protection against tsunamis at Fukushima Daiichi and other Japanese nuclear power plants. On the basis of information provided by Japanese government and industry experts for this paper, there appears to be no consensus in Japan about what were the most important contributory factors and, in the most general sense, who was to “blame” for the accident. This paper does not intend to provide conclusive answers to these questions.>>

Why Fukushima Was Preventable - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

All accidents are preventable, those are the watch words of the safety industry. Yet they still occur.

Looks like my original surmise is correct. Corruption. The current fad for all disaster reports is to not find anyone responsible and diffuse the situation into vagaries "nothing could be done, it's fate". It's been going on for a long time
Just like the current "excess deaths" phenomenon. The global statistics say there is a problem, no one in authority is willing to acknowledge the fact or look into it. Not publicly anyway.
