Learn about the Nuclear Meltdown disaster in SimCity, its effects on surrounding areas, and its random occurrence on Medium or Hard difficulties.

The Nuclear Meltdown disaster cannot be triggered by the player. It can occur randomly if you are playing SimCity on Medium or Hard difficulty settings. When a meltdown happens, the fallout will render many surrounding areas unlivable. The plant itself has the potential to become a huge fireball or be demolished into rubble.

Danger Rating: 6/10
