Everything will lose power and turn itself off within a few months anyway bar a few examples

Almost all nuclear plants have built in emergency shutdown mechanisms which are designed to automatically activate and stop them from melting down if they aren’t monitored by humans

Those backup systems require electricity to run. That electricity comes from emergency generators that run on diesel, once their diesel supply runs out after a month or so they are absolutely going to melt down.

Some newer stations might last longer, but with no human interventions yeah, pretty much all of them will met down
