I just fear the radiation which might come out. I believe loosing a home and a leg is better than getting irradiated. It would probably ruin my nighttime sleep for the rest of my life if my body would start glowing in the dark, you know :-] I am a proponent of nuclear power generation nevertheless.

Even purely on that scenario you'r cutting off your leg to avoid a typically undetectable statistical risk. We've got 50 years of records on the risk of plant meltdowns, a surprise earthquake hitting homes that aren't prepared is much, much worse than a nuclear plant meltdown. An earthquake will kill people. There will be deaths. Destruction. Suffering on a scale that is much worse than a nuclear meltdown. You should earthquake proof your house if you think that is a possible risk.
