Nuclear Plant Civilization 1

Nuclear Plant Civ1

Nuclear Plant is one of 24 City Improvements in MicroProse's TBS Game of 1991, Civilization 1.

Nuclear Plant increases factory production by 50%, and reduces pollution caused by Shield production by 50%.

Nuclear Plants run the risk of nuclear meltdown until your civilization has discovered Fusion Power.

• Nuclear Plant Cost: 160
• Nuclear Plant Upkeep: 2
• Nuclear Plant Prerequisite: Nuclear Power

Nuclear Power Plants burn atomic fuels through the process of nuclear fission to generate the heat and steam needed to produce electricity. Because it doesn't cause the pollution problems associated with the burning of fossil fuels, Nuclear Power is being examined as a possible alternative to these "dirty" sources of energy. However, the extremely dangerous nature of Nuclear Fission creates its own hazards, including the risk of a meltdown of the nuclear reactor. While the future of Nuclear Power is unclear now, continuing research in Nuclear Fusion may result in a safe and cheap source of power.
