Physicist Michio Kaku explains the ABCs of a nuclear power reactor meltdown due to a loss of coolant and what is going on in northeast Japan this morning.
From what I understand, this reactor complex is about 40 years old, therefore, it may not be as well designed to absorb seismic shocks as well are more recent designs. This reactor complex was at the end of it's life and probably should have been in the decommissioning process given it's location to known geological faults. Hind-sight is always 20/20.
