 The presentation will discuss Japan's tsunami history and design decisions
 made in the 1960's and 1970's that doomed the Fukushima Daiichi reactors
 even before they started up. I would continue with a discussion of Japan's
 poor response to the accident and what lessons might be learned for future
 events. I would close by addressing what IAEA (International Atomic Energy
 Agency) and NEI (Nuclear Energy Institute) said and did immediately after
 the accident to downplay the risk.
