A massive crater will also be seen, this crater will be glowing orange for a while until it cools down. Buildings covered in radiation will be abandoned, and the surrounding area will not be able to support new development. After the meltdown, much of the surrounding area will be flooded by radiation, which can be seen as small green spots glowing in random places. The explosion is about five times more powerful than the explosions of other power plants. When a nuclear meltdown occurs, the nuclear power plant will explode in a massive mushroom cloud, destroying any surrounding buildings and leaving a large crater and radiation where the power plant once was located. In SimCity 4, a nuclear meltdown can occur when nuclear power plants operate overcapacity, if their maintenance has degraded over time, or if they catch fire. ![]() If one zooms to the "street-level" view, the sound of a Geiger counter clicking can be heard.Ī nuclear power plant exploding during a meltdown. Only after said twenty years (or if it is overused or on fire) will the plant undergo a meltdown.ĭuring a nuclear meltdown in SimCity 3000, an explosion can be heard near the Nuclear power plant and a generic "destroyed building" symbol is displayed above the plant.Īny buildings near the meltdown will turn to rubble and buildings farther away will be covered in radiation and have an International Radioactive Warning insignia on them. In SimCity 3000, the Nuclear plant lasts twenty years before collapsing. In SimCity 3000 and its upgrade nuclear meltdowns can occur, although they are nowhere near as dramatic as its advanced successor. Radioactive tiles are empty unusable areas. Radioactive tiles produce a lot of pollution, and most of the radiation appears near where the nuclear plant was before the meltdown. It can take around ten to twenty thousand years before the radioactivity dies down, and about several hundred-thousand years to wear off completely. The fire spreads very quickly and is very difficult to extinguish. ![]() In SimCity 2000, the nuclear power plant will explode, ignite building and the city will be bathed in radiation. In SimCity, nuclear meltdowns can occur, but the radiation symbols are replaced with atoms.
