The passive cooling you mention is a pump which is driven from the steam generated from the heat from the reactor, rater than being electrically powered. Apparently if Fukushima had these pumps installed, the disaster wouldn't have happened.
The pumps have been tested submerged in water, like after a Tsunami, and they continued to work.
I work for the company who designed and builds them.
