FAHRENHEIT 3000

Everyone said that it could never happen.  Then came Three Mile

Island.  They still said that it could never happen.  Then came

Windscale.  The Atomic Energy Authority insisted that the chances

of a nuclear reactor melting down were a minimum of a million to

one against.



They might have been, but the odds were not great enough!



Passers-by see an unusual amount of steam rising from the cooling

towers of the "Dragon" reactor.  The warm English air has taken on

a malevolent chill.  Within minutes the whole country has heard the

"rumour" that the "Dragon" is about to meltdown.  Visions of

atomic bombs and mushroom clouds pass through the minds of the 

fearful local residents.  Luckily, the worst that can happen is an

enormous radiation leakage that could wipe out half of the South

Coast!

Suddenly, what they said could never happen has.  Fantasy has

become reality.  A shreiking siren is heard across the desolation of

the Winfrith Heath.  The South Coast is in panic.  The ceramic

coated Uranium Oxide core has reached Fahrenheit 3000.

Meltdown is imminent!  There is only one chance.  You have to

locate and operate all the pressure valves in order to release the

excess pressure and flood the core and, possibly, hopefully, shut

down the reactor.  But beware, for the radiation count is rising.  The

valves themselves glow green when there is radiation leakage; the

local "residents" of the reactor have all become contaminated; the

radiation count is rising all the time....

Shutdown the reactor before the reactor shuts you down.  Then,

solve the puzzle which is presented to you and if you're the first

person to successfully do so, you'll win a Mystery Prize!  All you

have to do is follow the instructions on the screen in order to SAVE

the "evidence" and send your tape to:

        Softstone., 39a Paddington Street, LONDON W1.
