The Federal Government steps in and eventually takes control of the power plant-—immediately if we are talking about a nuclear reactor.

Cheers

No the scenario is No One shows up. No government No army no one period.

And the reason isn't important because the research I need is what happens to the prospective plants?

I've read coal fired plants take the most human intervention because usually coal is manipulated onto conveyors but dozers and loaders operated by humans.

Gas Fired plants rely on the gas pressure staying constant and from what I've read such gets shaky fast if the electric grid becomes unstable. Hydro is Fine as long as the water level of the dam stays stable. And nukes are the wildcard.

One of the things I am not sure on is lets say we get a cascade and things start shutting down can a plant automatically disconnect from the grid and still give local power generation. I think such is a possibility say if you wanted to keep power generation going to emergency services like hospitals and police and such. Anyone know if such is possible?
