Be careful about early reports: for example, the claims an entire nuclear power plant tripped, and that it was due to a lack of weatherization. If you drill down to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission report https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/2021/20210216en.html https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/... (go to the bottom) only one of its two reactors tripped due to at the time of the report unknown problems with two feedwater pumps. The weather is of course a likely cause, but whatever it was it didn't affect the other reactor.
