There is no place on the planet that is free of the possibility of a quake.

Not absolutely, I suppose but then, as I said, I'm not a geologist so I can't be sure.

Would you buy a house next to a nuclear power plant built over a known fault line?

Faults can be dangerous but humans are more so. Don't forget, Chernobyl was caused by operator malfunction. Why did they think it was a good idea to run it dry without controls rods in place for any amount of time is beyond me?!

I used to live in San Clemente Ca. very near San Onofre nuclear power plant.

And all of Ca. is a fault.

Reminds me of the saying "It seemed like a good idea at the time".

Not because of the nuclear power plant. Hell I'd put one in my back yard if I could.
Darn government.

I also served on a nuclear powered submarine. Slept over a nuclear torpedo sometimes.

Any,..Ahem,.. "issues" since then? Such as sprouting extra body parts? Glowing in the dark?

Saves on electric and that third hand you always need to build something no problem.

Hmmm, famous last words. Kinda like around here is " Hey ya'll, watch this!BOOM".
