RE: Lets look at hazards after TSHTF
The issue with nuclear power stations is not shutting them down it is the handling of the spent fuel. It needs continuous cooling and when that fails we have a Fukushima type event.
The cooling system need power, which the station provides and lots of water which is why they are all sited by water. When the station shuts down, no power, no cooling and meltdown.
