Our critical tools were on an internal UPS circuit. It's like an emergency pace maker isn't it? - so the tools don't loose their heart beat during a power glitch. Also everything is nowadays single wafer processing which should reduce loss compared to batch processing. I would say there is a difference between an outage and a glitch - every fab should have back up generators.
