Cherenkov radiation (also spelled Cerenkov or Čerenkov) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through an insulator at a constant speed greater than the speed of light in that medium. The characteristic blue glow of nuclear reactors is due to Cherenkov radiation. It is named after Russian scientist Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, the 1958 Nobel Prize winner who was the first to characterise it rigorously.

  • everything he and they have done is unbelievably amazing, massive props to Gerald Donald

  • an slyming octopus with thousand arms catching all out there for a bucks but concealing the youngest behind door

    bio and radiation dont match

    hamburger finger licking good ......match

  • Ok listen all you tree hugging weirdos out there, if it werent for our nuclear power plants and the men and women who risk their lives working in that dangerous work space, u probably wouldnt have the electric power u do now....thumbs up if u agree ppl

  • Thumb down because i hate having to mute stupid music every 5 minutes...

    Pretty radiations though :)

  • @WolfeBane84 The colour of the "glow" depends on the surrounding material and how it is affected by the radiation, which itself is invisible. The notion of green representing radioactivity probably comes from the many-decades use of radium-powered green glowing phosphor coatings used to make things glow in the dark (like clocks and watches) before it was banned. Just got into the culture and stuck there.

  • @WolfeBane84 i dont know i have seen purple before

  • I wonder how we got the notion that radiation was green when its blue. Unless, forgive the ignorance, there are different colors associated with different types of radiation? cool pictures, not a fan of the music though. I think something classical would have been neat.
