Which is why nuclear power plants (at least in safety-aware western
world) come with multiply rendundant systems, at least one of which is
independent of electronics.
For instance, a reactor might have control rods held in place by
solenoids; cut the power, and are driven into the core by gravity or
loaded springs, effectively shutting the reactor down.

I guess this will actually be the worst. Food is second.
You forgot heating systems. Those come third, though warm clothing and a
lot of warm blankets can help you some. Well, maybe in Africa it's not
that much of an issue...
