Nuclear GUI for the Simcity project

nuclear.py

'''
This program controls the state of the waterpump and
LED's of the nuclear power station.
If the pump stops working a countdown of 10 seconds starts
ticking and then does 2 things:
1) turning on red lights instead of blue lights in the
   reactor's core.
2) cutting the power: writing outpin HIGH (on the arduino
   of the power system this will set the power out.

if the pump is setted to work again, everything goes back to
   normal state:
1) the blue lights are lighted.
2) the power outpin is set to LOW.
To control the state of the pump send in serial:
'h' - to turn the pump on
'l' - to turn the pump off
