Scram is the name of two video games, both based around a scram, or emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor.

Atari 800

Scram is a game designed by Chris Crawford for the Atari 800. The player controlled the valves and switches of a nuclear reactor directly with the joystick. Occasionally, earthquakes would occur and the player must analyze the heat readings and dispatch repair crews to the affected area of the plant. Written in Atari BASIC, Scram utilized differential equations to simulate reactor behavior.

DEC Alpha

Scram is also a similar game written for the DEC Alpha, where the player would control a small astronaut with a jetpack as she attempted to trigger all the cooling valves in a nuclear reactor before the levels rose to a critical level.
