“When you say the grid will be down for ‘some period of time and may be some extended period of time’ - what are you talking about? Weeks, months, years... Will Nuclear power plants be able to function with their computers out?”

The nuke plant computers will probably be fine because they are so well shielded inside the building. however the entire power infrastructure will be destroyed for months at the minimum.

As for the water supply, all the pumps will be destroyed. So they’ll have to be replaced. Replacing them will be tough.
