Do radiation tiles from a nuclear meltdown ever disappear in SimCity 3000?

If you put too much strain on a nuclear power plant in SC3K for about a year or so, it explodes and leaves a radius contaminated by nuclear waste. Does this waste ever disappear?

I’ve waited 100 years so far and nothing has disappeared…

Who cares?

SimCity 4 is out!

I’d like to know.

I want to know how long it will be before I get part of my downtown industrial area back.

And yes, I know it was stupid. I wasn’t expecting the flying saucers to blow it up.

Well, if I remember correctly, it was a thousand years in SimCity before the tiles would disappear. I’d wager that they do, it’ll just take a long time. I wonder if they just picked an arbitrary number or if they tried to model from half-lives of various elements that would be released in a meltdown.
