Online Learning game used to simulate disaster scenarios - Greg Kline, News-Gazette
No plasma rifle or rocket launcher in this Unreal game, which is OK, because blowing up stuff around a nuclear reactor would be a bad idea, anyway. University of Illinois Professor Rizwan Uddin and some of his students have turned the popular computer game Unreal Tournament into a simulation that could be used to help train nuclear plant workers, emergency responders and others. Their first model is the former research reactor on campus, which the UI shut down in the late 1990s and began decommissioning nearly four years ago, as well as a square block around the facility, complete with local buildings, streets and street signs.
