Interesting...!

Does that mean that there is a 100 percent risk of the same tsunami over
500 years? Is there a cycle? When was the last one? Risk would be a lot
higher than 10 percent if it was, say, 300 years since the last tsunami....

Haven't dug at all into it, this is just a very spontaneous thought...

The research paper concluded that there was a roughly 10 percent chance that a tsunami could test or overrun the 
defenses of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant within a 50-year span based on the most conservative 
assumptions.
But Tokyo Electric did nothing to change its safety planning based on that study, which was presented at a nuclear 
engineering conference in Miami in July 2007.

on top of it their measuring devices overflowed:

Those levels may be higher still, but authorities say 1,000 millisieverts is the upper limit of their measuring 
devices. [2]
