The one I had worked at for over 10 years had a good number of fail safes all the way up to scramming the reactorsAt least most modern nuclear plants do have a lot of fail safes. The big "IF" though, is that in a SHTF situation, will there be enough personnel there to enact them?
SCRAM is an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor, though the term has been extended to cover shutdowns of other complex
operations, such as server farms and even large model railroads. In commercial reactor operations, this emergency shutdown is often
referred to as a "SCRAM" at boiling water reactors (BWR), and as a "reactor trip" at pressurized water reactors (PWR).[1] In many cases,
a SCRAM is part of the routine shutdown procedure as well. Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. 2015).
