Could a future earthquake jolt the reactor back into danger mode?

  It's still in danger mode, still leaking massive amounts of radiation into the pacific ocean. Based on what I've read of dying ocean life it's probably one of the worst environmental disasters in history

    Do you have a source?

    Not according to the recent Nova I watched on the subject.

    Reprising: There are 187000000000000 million gallons of water in the Pacific Ocean, meaning that "radioactive waste" is 2.1 x 10^-10% of the body of water itself. The waste takes the form of HTO, tritiated water, which has extremely low bioavailability and has already been introduced in abundance to the ocean by other events. There are things to be alarmed about, but this isn't one of them.
