When a nuclear reactor powers on for the first time, the core fills with a deep blue glow that feels almost unreal as it rises through the water in a quiet surge of energy. The light is Cherenkov radiation, created when charged particles move through the water faster than light can travel in that medium, a discovery made in the 1930s that revealed a new way to see high energy reactions. Every appearance of this glow is a reminder of how powerful atomic reactions can be, showing a rare moment whe

Nuclear Reactor Startup ☢️ The blue glow is a classic example of Cherenkov radiation, which occurs when a charged particle passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. Follow @betaeq | Beta EQ

You are witnessing the startup of a small nuclear reactor, the blue glow you are seeing is due too electron particles produced in the fission reaction (splitting of the atom, in this case, the uranium235 isotope), the electrons leave the reactor core near the speed of light in water (225,000 kilometers per second) and once they hit the water they slow down to around 75% of their speed in the water, this interaction between the speeding electrons and the water produces blue photons or light parti
