Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that devastated northern Japan , a series of explosions and a containment failure at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant resulted in media coverage of the GE Three . Bridenbaugh described design flaws of General Electric 's Mark 1 reactors , which account for five of the six reactors at the Fukushima 1 power plant . Bridenbaugh claimed that the design " did not take into account the dynamic loads that could be experienced with a loss of coolant " and that , despite efforts to retrofit the reactors , " the Mark 1 is still a little more susceptible to an accident that would result in a loss of containment .
