Plant was initially being cooled by backup generators.

An hour later, a 46 ft Tsunami hits, overfowing the 19′ seawall, inundating the plant,  and disabling all but 1 (underground) generator. Most of the emergency core cooling system fails, the only portion still in operation being a steam and battery system which hadn’t been tested or used in 40 years.
