Abstract
[This Chapter discusses with the influence of the Tsunami and the station blackout. I intend to make in depth studies on why there were timing differences of the core melts and explosion as much as 2 days between the Units. Although the safety system of Unit 1 (IC) is different from those of other Units (RCIC), all of these systems started to work as satisfactorily after the scram. If the emergency AC power is recovered while they were working, accidents can be avoided. Namely delay of recovery of electricity is another important cause of disaster.]
