As for Fukushima, I no longer recall what caused the cooling systems
to fail, but it was not lack of diesel fuel, unless one thinks that
the Japanese Government would have been unable to buy a tanker ship
full of diesel fuel and station it on the wharf right in front of
Fukushima.

Hmm.  I`m thinking that tsunami seawater inundation destroyed the
generators and electrical equipment, and maybe the cooling pump
electric motors.

Yes, they failed not for shortage of fuel, but excess of seawater.

The original estimate of possible tsunami wave height was too low.
"In Japan, they put up a heroic fight to get the electrical systems up and 
running again, but it wasn`t enough,"
