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.
