You send staff at the power plants to Mars, in effect. Isolate the facility from intrusion of outside sources of infection. Drop ship essential supplies which are then treated with a portable gamma source for sterilization. A military operation provides security, access control outside the facility.

EXACTLY - but will they do it in time?

If it has not happened already, it’s too late.
Between the Super Tuesday elections and the nation wide “Black Death Friday” panic buying spree over this past week end, the likely now low end number of 30,000 or so pre-symptomatic or low symptomatic cases were well mixed with the healthy. (I’m assuming 3000 or so confirmed US cases as of the early morning of 3-15-2020 times ten).
Quite a number of medical professionals use higher numbers.
A medical professor at Johns Hopkins University named Marty Makary believes that...
“Don’t believe the numbers when you see, even on our Johns Hopkins website, that 1,600 Americans have the virus,” he said.
“No, that means 1,600 got the test, tested positive. There are probably 25 to 50 people who have the virus for every one person who is confirmed.”
He added:
“I think we have between 50,000 and half a million cases right now walking around in the United States.”
There is a model accessible at this article:

Which states some of it’s results on the chances of different sized business having COVID-19 positive on their staffs like this:
It tells us things like:
>>If your company had 100 employees in the Washington state area, which had 11 coronavirus deaths on 3/8, there was a 25% chance at least one of your employees was infected, and you should have closed immediately.
>>If your company had 250 employees mostly in the South Bay (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, which together had 22 official cases on 3/8 and the true number was probably at least 54), by 3/9 you would have had ~2% chances to have at least one employee infected, and you should have closed your office too.
>>[Updated as of 3/12] If your company is in Paris (intramuros), and it has 250 employees, today there’s a 95% chance that one of your employees has the coronavirus, and you should close your office by tomorrow.
The model uses labels such as “company” and “employee”, but the same model can be used for anything else: schools, mass transit… So if you have only 50 employees in Paris, but all of them are going to take the train, coming across thousands of other people, suddenly the likelihood that at least one of them will get infected is much higher and you should close your office immediately.”
The odds are that Comanche Peak, given its proximity to DFW airport and the the multiple positives in the Ft Worth area and the STP plant at Bay City’s proximity to the Houston outbreak already have undiagnosed COVID-19 cases on their staffs without the testing to identify the sick and quarantine the exposed.
You have got to do both testing and quarantine of the exposed _Before_ you seal up the plants or you simply seal the disease inside with the staff in a cruise ship like high R(O) transmission environment.
