Hi, glad you like the vid etc. and thanks for the nice comments. Unfortunately I don't think I can share the code due one small, albeit essential, bit that I think may have interlectual property attached to it (I never did find out for sure). Think of it as a constant that keeps the model running except its not a constant.
I am not a nuclear physicist but out son is (he designs reactor cores), he helped me to understand some of the maths. The ZX81 code does model the various interactions in tempreture, radioactivity etc. and remarkably, once the code snippet mentioned above was added the model moves quickly to criticality and returns again after a rod change etc. I couldn't quite believe it really. However, once this was achieved in go (golang), I just ported it to C and used Z88DK to target a ZX81.
