Shutting down the power grid for a few months sure would be a great way to cover up millions of vaccine deaths

If the power grid fails on a national scale, the entire earth dies from all the nuclear radiation caused by every nuke power plant in the country going into full melt-down.
Nuclear power plants have backup power contingencies, and backups for the backups.
But for how long? As long as the supply line delivers oil/gas, etc.? Hope those generators don't have issues where they need parts. I guess this is a worst case scenario dealio though
You know the power plants generate electricity, right?
Nuke plants do not directly generate their own electricity, as counter-intuitive as that sounds. They need to get electricity off of the power grid to operate the facility.
They must at least have backup power of some kind, generators etc., enough to shut the plant down safely at least.
Yes. They have backup power, but it is limited. It's basically just enough for life support for the facility in order to buy time for grid power to be restored. In order to shut down a nuke plant to keep it from going into melt-down the process takes several weeks. And I am not sure if a full shutdown can be done with backup power alone. I do know that it is a very complex task.
And if a total shutdown os successful, it takes months to power the plant back up.
