Sounds like something they could move some military in for?

Possibly.

The issue is the USA does not have a standardized commercial power plant control room set up like France. Each nuclear plant is unique and requires a separate certification of operators.

USN nuke operators know their ship reactors and all the basics in terms of dosimeter protocols.

They don’t know how to scram a commercial nuclear plant safely, slowly and without damage unless the have weeks of training and OJT with the particular commercial nuclear plant set up.

In an emergency you can beach a lot of subs and carriers and throw these guys in, but they are going to need all sorts of training from people who are either sick or in quarantine because the Feds have not thought that far.
