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

Science | History | Facts on Instagram: "When a nuclear reactor first powers on, it emits an eerie, hypnotic blue glow. It looks unreal—but it isn’t fire or heat. This phenomenon is called Cherenkov radiation. It occurs when charged particles move through water faster than light can travel in that same medium, releasing a shockwave of energy that bathes the reactor pool in electric blue. First observed in 1934 by physicist Pavel Cherenkov, and later explained by Ilya Frank and Igor Tamm, the dis
