This question is too broad-- it depends on the size of the earthquake. The one in Japan was so large that it knocked out the power source, which, along with the backup diesel generators being knocked out by the tsunami, created the disaster at Fukushima.
However, that doesn't mean every earthquake near a nuclear reactor will result in catastrophe. There are many small or even medium sized ones that happen near/at nuclear reactor sites and nothing happens.
What else can I help you with?
What is the nuclear plant of Japan crippled by the earthquake and tsunami?
Fukushima 1 Nuclear Power Plant.
How many days after the Japanese earthquake 2011 did the nuclear plant explode?

Was the earthquake in japan caused by an explosion of a nuclear power station?
no it was caused by the tectonic plates the nuclear plant disaster happened because of the earthquake
Was japan ready for an earthquake of this kind?
No, When this earthquake happened it destroyed nuclear plant and millions died but next time they will be ready.
Enviromental impact of nuclear power plant?
A nuclear power plant is considered safe and does not emit toxic fumes into the air. However, in case of a disaster such as an earthquake, a nuclear power plant may be damaged and it will leak radioactive particles into the air.
What country suffered a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March and what catastrophe followed?

What happens if a nuclear power plant does not work?
It produces no electricity
What type of reaction happens in a power plant?
Nuclear fission
What is their relationship to the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant?
The Fukushima Nuclear Power plant is a Japanese nuclear power plant in which the reactor meltdown occurred after the tsunami and earthquake in 2011. It is a site of paramount historical global significance to the nuclear energy and safety sector.
