NUCLEAR WASTE by Joseph Donnelly from Sinclair User #11 (February 1983) [*NOTE*:This program was listed in the mag as being for the 16K ] [Spectrum, but was actually a ZX-81 program, so lines marked in ] [INVERSE had to be changed. JimG. ] Joseph Donnelly of Dublin has sent a fascinating game which involves moving a spent fuel rod from a nuclear reactor. The display shows the reactor from above, with different types of fuel rod arranged in a chessboard pattern. The active rods must be manoeuvred so as to allow the passage of the spent rod, but active rods of the same type may not be placed too close without the imminent risk of contamination. A gauge at the side of the screen shows the danger level you have reached. The game as listed is extremely difficult but could be made easier by omitting lines 115 and 117, which would allow diagonal moves, or by dropping line 210, which would mean that there was no restriction on the proximity of active rods.
