Nuclear Meltdown

[tnobles 38]

 I hate that I have to play with  natural disaster. I never seen the fun in something just destroying my city.

I'm with you 100%. They need an on/off button for disasters.

I need help recovering from a meltdown from my nuclear reactor.  The radiation made the surrounding area useless. I am also spending so much much on hospital services that I am starting to go under.  Does anyone know how to clear the radiation and/or knows how long it takes to dissipate?   

 

I  have two cities that have been nuked. One was a big thriving city that the stupid lizard trashed, so totally realistic EA, and the other city I setup in the early days to be a power city, thinking that the maxxed out university in another city with region sharing enabled would provide educated workers. WRONG.  So, what I did was lots of bulldozing and rebuilding so that ALL ploppables are in the radiation zone and the RCI zones are in the non-radiation areas.  I am back to having successful cities although the RCI zones are about only one third of the map.  Water stations must use filtration.  

 

I have yet to see what 2.0 has done to this convenient arrangement though. Good luck and death to Godzilla!

had an earthquake followed by a meltdown. The city was full educated. (150k population) I now have about 90% of the map with radiation, had to change filtration pump to the only corner of the map free of radiation. However I still have lots of people to get sick. And the population has dropped to about 120k

That in mind being against nuclear power isn't greenie brainwashed, its plain common sense. Wind and sun power are far more reliable than many believe and so far I haven't heard about many such plants exploding and contaminating entire regions. 

 

MFG

 

 

IMHO unless humanity drastically changes its power needs, and Wind & Solar become far , far, far more efficient as they currently are; the only source that can quelch our thirst is Nuclear...

But  i suggest leaving these "politic debates" far away from this forum

 

As for the game , radiation does not seem to go away at any rate, dont know if it is bugged or intended... it looks like you have to run your city a couple of centuries for it to lessen. 

 

Of course, you cannot prevent a disaster of some kind, meteors, quake,.... but the only way to prevent reactor meltdown is to keep education up, up up... at least 3+ level. Probably need to put a college & an R zone next to it :s

I think I read somewhere it takes twenty years. Can't confirm this and probably never will.

The radiation will never clear.  38 years per shading,  Live with or destroy and move on.

I had a nuclear meltdown of my power plant earlier this morning.

 

Here's what happened :

A tornado destroyed my city college and flew by my power plant. Instantly, the safety has gone from Safe to Dangerous. My university was shutdown to due the fact that my neighbor had one, and to save me money.

And it melted.

 

Now

 

 

Since that, my hospital and safety bill doubled, so I plopped down some casinos to make money.

Yes, they are in the danger zone

 

Edit : And an airport too, because they aren't any space to waste.

I started a new simcity with radiation in it. Also no nuclear power plant

That map's like that on purpose (it even tells you in the description).

Well, if you have Cities of Tomorrow, you could use the Academy to research the Ground Scrubber. I know it completely removes normal pollution, but i haven't tested it with radiation.
