Use a game controller to navigate a ROBOT around the NUCLEAR POWER PLANT collecting RADIOACTIVE bins before the tsunami arrives. First locate a bin using the DRONE. Then maneuver the robot to pick up the bin and return it to the SAFE AREA. There are 5 bins to collect. Radiation levels degrade the robot over time. Returning a radioactive bin resets the timer. Use the drone to locate randomly assigned bins and teleports to CONTROL ROOM and REACTOR. You can teleport to a Reactor in order to switch back on the cooling water pumps. The tsunami will appear 60 seconds after the alarm starts. Collect INFORMATION cards to learn more about the CAUSE & EFFECT of certain actions. COMBINE the information cards in the CONTROL ROOM for answers. The OBJECTIVE of the experience is to learn a little more about the problems at the Fukushima Dai'ichi site and provide you with a virtual experience of being in a nuclear power plant. The activity is intended for EDUCATION USE.
