Meltdowns of Nuclear Power Plants can almost never happen if it is staffed by educated Sims, that's what players that use Nuclear Plants (like me) say, but those who do not trust Nuclear Power (because of radiation) will then spot light on another problem that involves spreading radiation, which is: random disasters... A giant lizard popped up from below my plant, spreading radiation as heck, but thank God, I saved the game from almost a minute before the lizard came and I experimented with all solutions that came across my mind until I came up with this solution that I'm going to tell you now. (this will also work for all types of random disasters, such as meteors, UFOs etc. not just big lizards) Let's say a meteor, for example, crashed down on your power plant and destroyed it and you opened the radiation map... you know what you will see... I suppose you might have saved the game before the disaster. Reload the game at that time and pause the game so the disaster won't happen again(by clicking the "pause" button)and click on your Nuclear Power Plant and click on the On/Off button so you can shutdown your power plant. After that click on the "Edit" button and then click on the "bulldoze" button, you will need to bulldoze ALL of your reactors which will leave only the control room ( you can bulldoze that if you want, but make sure that your power plant is off so the reactors won't release radiation when they are bulldozed, Turning off the power plant without bulldozing the reactors will still spread radiation when it is destroyed, and I think bulldozing the power plant directly might spread radiation as well even if it is off( I can tell when the lizard popped up and destroyed the entire power plant at once while it is off and spread radiation, just like bulldozing a power plant directly). So that's the solution, just turn off the power plant and bulldoze the reactors. Now you can resume the game. Once the meteor has crashed on your without-reactors Nuclear Power Plant, or a lizard popped up or a UFO destroyed it, you will see that there is no radiation when you open the radiation map! When the disaster ends, you can re-put the power plant like nothing happened from before. If you don't have enough simoleons for another Nuclear Power Plant, you can use the simoleons cheat from the sandbox mode! (which is holding ALT+W) It might work for you, I'm not sure. but it worked for me while I was in the standard mode. Besides if I was in sandbox mode, then how did the lizard came randomly ? I hope this works for you, and sorry if this was longer than needed.

yeah it does only work in offline mode ... at least I solved the problem for offline mode, right ?
