Čerenkov radiation... Mesmerizing if anything in the world is. The first time I saw it, I just sat there watching the reactor pool. It's unlike any other light in the world...
Atomic Energy Plant atomic clock. Can be powered and energized by a solar energy clock but doesn't use sun power but only by laser light which is absorbed in clock's solar panel cells or photo voltaic cells which absorb laser light converts it to electricity and sends it to it's atomic plant clock.The reason to use this. Not smart to have any electrical wires any were around atomic things;not fire safe, compared to laser beam which is safe even if cut.Or if under water a laser can still be used.
@melkor6666 In this case the Cherenkov radiation is from beta decay of the fission products, yes, but in general one can get Cherenkov radiation from any sufficiently high-energy charged particle (such as protons) in a dielectric medium.
Is that an RBMK-1000 "chernobyl" type reactor?

I'm sorry, but not a thing you said made a damn bit of sense.
Regarding the use of a laser:
1) You can't "cut" a laser beam...its light.
2) Lasers are fairly useless under water as water tends to act as a lens.

There's quite a lot of hear coming from the reactor while they're refueling...

Holy crap man.... cherenkov radiation..... that's the beauty of protons there...

Actually, Cherenkov radiation is caused by ELECTRONS that move faster than light in water for a short time.

Sorry about that goof there, and Thanks for the correction !
Still, it's beautiful: something mover faster than light. Even though it's in water and not a vacuum, it's still beautiful.

@melkor6666 get me out of this question, how de the electrons to move faster than light?

@Iteban he means they move faster than the speed of light in water (light moves slower through water)
