In normal operations they use fresh water for cooling functions. But they located the plant right next to the ocean - susceptible as that makes the plant to exactly what happened (i.e. getting swamped by a tsunami), just so they could use seawater for emergency cooling operations. And then their equipment fails due to the chlorides in seawater.

Great planning.
