The plant wasn’t poorly designed, it just wasn’t designed to be where it was and nearly wiped out Tokyo as a consequence? This is an argument in favour of nuclear?
A lot of renewables don’t need storage - including geothermal, wind, tidal, salt solar, hydro… But photovoltaics with batteries is still a fraction of the cost of nuclear, takes a fraction of the time to build, is far safer, and is orders of magnitude more relisient against demand spikes.
