All 12 reactors had been running at full pelt for the past 24 hours without a problem producing power for the Whole of exetonia. Alan Green, the director of Exeter Nuclear Power (ExNP) was most delighted with what was going on. Tonight however, was the safty check of reactor number 4 and he, was to oversee it.

Victor Herrgrass was sitting at his console watching all the blinking lights when he noticed a big black spot in his sector. The small power plant outside of Plymouth city had shut down du to a mechanical failure and more power would need to be found. Since all the others were running at there limits, he turned to his supervisor and got permission to phone the Nuclear power station in Truro.

Gregor Zitchezky recieved the call with a dull feeling in his heart knowing how risky this was. He stopped the procedure and began the reverse procedure. Suddenly, a claxon sounded. 24 of the 128 rods had lowered far to quickly and were begining to superheat the reactor. He shut it down but, the heat was still radiating. Un beknown to him, the coolant system was failing.
