The modern stuff is just a shiny version of the old. Something weird happened and I cannot figure what. My guess is that a big power plant dropped off line to soon. A technician could have mis adjusted a trip or a timer failed perhaps.
So when they report that the nuke plants did an auto shut down .. it wasn't really .. a tech would have to shut down it?

No, the automated equipment is a lot faster than a tech. But the tech has to adjust (calibrate) the automated stuff so that it works right and at the right time.
Human error might be involved. I await the findings.
