IF the earthquake was the modality that cracked the pipes and led to the loss of coolant to the reactor cores, then one would have had a meltdown in the first hour after the earthquake. However, that's NOT what the record shows.

The record shows that the meltdown began over an hour after the quake, a little after the tsunami hit.
