Some case would have to be made that an "error of design" or "substandard workmanship" contributed to the failure. That will be a very hard case to make under the circumstances.

What do you think the odds are that the design of the fuel storage pool, elevated as it was, and placed within a sealed environment, cleverly designed so if hydrogen did get generated, it could blow up the building, will NOT now be considered nutz, and obvious to anyone but a fool, especially when built on a coast in a high earthquake zone?
