Here is a picture of the nuclear power plant in S. California. Talk about being "on the beach". There are numerous faults offshore that could cause a massive landslide and a subsequent tsunami that would overwhelm the plant.

Yeah, I think it is retarded that even though the entire Southern California is pretty much irrigated desert, they could not find a way to move it away from the coast and pipe water to the facility. Seems like lazy planning and a disaster waiting to happen to me.
