That does not really answer my question, does it?

Of all the possible places to build nuclear plants, why go put them in a place that has plenty of sunshine and tons of seismic activity?

No matter how favorable the odds, why play those when there are places that could be even better?

I suspect you, like many, are fixated on the idea that solar/wind power is viable as primary energy sources and therefore haven't been taking nuclear seriously.

Assuming the future successful invention and deployment of battery power storage to provide a consistent 11,000 Megawatt-hours per day (a fairly typical large city supply amount), what do you think would happen to those enormous ganged up batteries in an earthquake?

No, absolutely not. I said in the first comments, not against nuclear. What I am against is pushing for unproven designs facing avoidable risks.
