I am not an engineer, but does "end of the design life" in the case of the concrete structure mean it loses its strength? I honestly don't know, just asking.
What I am more afraid of is the fact that these buildings were not only damaged by the earthquake (taken into account in the design) but also shocked and shattered by the explosions (NOT taken into account). Still, I don't see a viable alternative to the TEPCO plan.
