They would lose the external infrastructure such as transformers, generators, and other devices which are not protected.

Large back up generators - they might have a chip or two, right? Can a cold shutdown be achieved without ANY electricity?

Electrical generation would be inside the building as far as I know. Some designs default to a shut down condition if they have an emergency.

Backup generators would probably be outside the building and not protected. Probably depends on the facility.
