Nuclear Reactor Sim
A simple nuclear reactor simulator with basic explanations of how a nuclear reactor works provided.
Controls:
Q/Kp4 - A/Kp1 - Raise/Lower rod group 1
W/Kp5 - S/Kp2 - Raise/Lower rod group 2
E/Kp6 - D/Kp3 - Raise/Lower rod group 3
X/Kp- - C/Kp+ - Decrease/Increase water flow rate
Heavily based on the following videos:

Are the first rod group supposed to be in-active? also, this sim is the best i have ever seen. The videos you have based them off are probably the best source of information a person ccan get for simulating an RBMK reactor. Keep up the good work!
Great idea (and a great source for inspiration!), but a but hard to take seriously, when the very first part contains the passage "Uranium isotope 235 (meaning it contains 235 neutrons)". No, no it does not. It means it has a mass number of 235, in this case from 92 protons and 143 neutrons.
I get it, it's easy to make mistakes, but if you want people to use this as a learning tool, you _need_ to check and double check statements.
Still, an amazing idea, and I hope you will get it fixed. I'd love to use this to teach my kids about how fission works.
Heh, whoops. I'll make sure to correct that once the jam's over.
EDIT: That particular inaccuracy has now been corrected.
