Last night I made a fake nuclear reactor control system and put it on the Internet for hackers to find.

It's a script implementing the absolute minimum of the VNC protocol to very slowly send a screenshot of a SCADA interface.

I'm logging any keys they try to type and mouse movements they make, and the next stage of the project is to use that data to drive a display in my living room, that'll look like an electronic cloud chamber (using e-paper)

This looks extremely similar to a screenshot of some version of pctran, which is very simplified compared to real control systems (i.e. it abstracts away engineering complications unimportant for transient modelling). I expect people to suspect that it's not real at first glance.

You might wish to take a screenshot of something like youtube.com/watch?v=59hVaIjxMI, which is somewhat closer to having many of the engineering complications implemented (e.g. compare the boration control setup between the two).
