"was anyone expecting a Tsunami to suddenly manifest over Bavaria?"
No, the thinking or sentiment was, see, even high tech japan cannot securly operate nuclear plants(they know they have earthquakes and tsunamis), so there are surley things we overlooked as well. So nuclear is not totally safe.
And there are a few things, as far as I know. For example the plants were not build taking into account, terrorists crashing a plane into them.
I have it from someone who actually ran finite elements calculations on this very thing, that you can crash a plane on a French plant all you want, it won't leak. You'd need a well placed JDAM, and even then the damage would be quite local, much less than the Chernobyl graphite fire.
