Perhaps, because not all faults are apparent until they move.
And to answer your question, yes, since there are many many faults located, there are also over 100 nuclear plants in the US itself and faults need to be built were cooling water is available, such as a river, and faults are originally located along some rivers. So yes, plants are built along fault lines inevitably.
