Comparisons with the Kobe 1995 and Niigata Chuetsu 2004 Earthquakes
Reactor was designed to sustain maximum PGA 440 gals. TEPCO has planned to reinforce
the reactors so they could withstand horizontal shaking of 600 gals, after the government
reviewed their quake-resistance standards 5 years ago. But the work was not finished.
