Are there any nuclear plants on fault lines?
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.

What is a volcanic fault?
A volcanic fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust that occurs due to the movement of molten rock or magma beneath the surface. These faults can cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions when there is significant pressure and stress built up along the fault line.
