Funny little detail that might interest you: Due to the presence of a large number of different fission products (with different half lifes), the drop does not really follow an exponential but is better described by P(t) = P_0 * a * (t^-0.2), i.e. a power law, where P_0 is the power before the shutdown, a is a couple of percent and t is the time since the shutdown in seconds.
