Yes, but if there's multiple power plants, which one
melts down?  Which oen gets destroyed is, as proposed,
random; which one gets deactivated could be random
too.

Another reason for deactivation is that, if one
suddenly (dare we say, from an act of war?) finds
oneself without enough power plants, one could shut
down some of one's facilities until a new power plant
could be built, powering them up and down as desired.
