Nuclear Fission

◆◆ · By John Oresko · Published 2024-07-13T21:10:48.897Z

Meta Prompt
The meta answer is what professional weightlifters strive for during the time of year they compete. (14 [4, 6, 4])
My first time making a crossword puzzle! It's far from perfect, but it's mine and I'm proud. Hopefully some of the more borderline entries aren't too unforgiveable 😅😅😅😅 Feedback is greatly appreciated as I have no idea what I'm doing.
Meta Hint 1 I like to imagine the black squares in this puzzle are little nuclear physicists
Meta Hint 2 7 elements are in the lab, being split (fission, hehehe) by our crack team of physicists
Meta Hint 3 14 extra letters across 14 different clues. If you're stuck here, I'd wager you're overthinking their arrangement
Meta Hint 4 Put each extra letter in order according to its clue's first letter
