Question by Martijn: What would happen to the power plants if the power grid would acutely be disconnected of crippled?
What would happen if (for example) some terrorist would decide to blow up the entire (or huge amounts) of a continents power grid using an EMP bomb? More specifically, what would happen to the power plants within those regions? As they cannot store their electric energy (?), but still keep working (like a nuclear power plant), would they go into immanent melt-down?

the circuit breakers or fuses in the transmission line power grid will be activated and isolated the defective areas, nothing will happen to the power plant except the line voltage will be higher, because of no load output, but it will be compensated
but to provide electricity to other places, they will send a crew to repair the damages, at the same time transfer the power source from other power plants to continue the electrical service, they have a very good interconnected power grid system between us and ontario
