Instead of steel-and-concrete, they're recommending "soft infrastructure" - flexible ecological systems like wetlands, oyster beds and barrier islands, as well as water retention, wastewater recycling and water efficiency.

Such a leak in the steel-and-concrete containment vessel that houses the nuclear core of a reactor posed the biggest threat of a "major radiological event" yet in the crisis, said Anthony Pietrangelo of the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry organization in Washington, D.C.The Dai-ichi plant had automatically stopped its three operating reactors when the earthquake hit Friday, but the tsunami knocked out cooling of the plant's still-hot nuclear fuel rods.

A containment structure is a steel-and-concrete structure which surrounds the nuclear reactor and prevents an accidental release of radiation.
