which of the following earthquakes resulted in a massive tsunami, which caused the meltdown of a nuclear power station?

2010 haiti earthquake
The 2011 Japan Earthquake (also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake) had a magnitude of 9.0. It triggered a massive tsunami. The tsunami waves flooded the Fukushima Dai - ichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing a meltdown of multiple reactors. This was a major nuclear disaster.
The 2010 Chile earthquake (magnitude 8.8) caused significant damage and tsunamis in Chile but no nuclear power - station meltdown. The 2017 Mexico earthquake (various magnitudes in the 8.0 range in different events) and the 2010 Haiti earthquake (magnitude 7.0) also did not lead to nuclear power - station meltdowns.
