Energy Solutions | Core Reaction Nuclear Education Game

Nuclear Energy Game

Power your future. Twenty years into the future, the air is clean and the power is nuclear.

Can you take on the challenge of Core Reaction? It’s up to you to create clean, safe nuclear energy to support your power-hungry city. As you learn how to create power through nuclear energy, you’ll discover that everyone has a role to play – and everyone faces obstacles!

Engaging Students

Teaching and Inspiring STEM Careers

Online science games are an effective teaching tool for a variety of reasons--learning content and career motivation are two potential outcomes. When a game challenges a player to think like a professional, the role-play experience can be highly motivating in inspiring students to pursue STEM careers.

The Nuclear Energy Industry

Unlimited Career Opportunities

With over 1/3 of the nuclear industry’s workforce approaching retirement, today’s students need to know about the growing demand for skilled nuclear professionals. The nuclear industry requires all types of engineers, technicians and operators, from high school graduates through PhDs. Core Reaction gives students tremendous insight into careers in nuclear power, as they assume critical roles in providing clean, efficient, reliable, and safe energy.
