A classic example of Cherenkov radiation is the characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor. Its cause is similar to the cause of a sonic boom, the sharp sound heard when faster-than-sound movement occurs.
This isn't a power plant, it's a research reactor, and it wasn't "starting up". They were performing what is known as a pulse, which is where all the control rods are removed from the core, allowing a brief spike in the reaction to happen.
Exactly that what i was wondering about, this is not the long time operation start up. Also the sound comes more from those rods which are pulled up really fast and after short time dropped back to stop the reaction.
@@praise_baby_jesus humans are warm blooded mammals unfortunately it doesnt work like that for us. Add it to the list of reasons i wish I was a reptile😭 lucky ass regenerating limb bastards
What your seeing is call Chevron Radiation. The blue light you’re seeing is the electrons moving at the speed of light leaving behind an echo of blue light. The reason you can see the blue light is because it’s in water. The speed of light is slower in water and is visible to the naked eye.
@@husobaltaci3382 well everything is relative, so those particles cant travel faster than light in a vacuum, but because light slows down in different materials, those particles are faster than light when in water
That blue light is Cherenkov radiation. Protons or electrons moving faster than the speed of light in water or roughly 2.26e8 m/s will generate that light. It's like how a jet can travel faster than the speed of sound and generate a sonic boom. Cherenkov radiation is like a sonic boom with light.
Nuclear Fusion is what’s used in Spider-Man 2. This is Nuclear Fission, which is unbelievably dangerous and highly radioactive. If we could figure out Fusion, then yes, we’d literally have miniature suns powering our planet. But for now, Nuclear Fission based power plants are massive Nukes just waiting to go off and kill millions.
This is the TRIGA research reactor at the Podgorica Reactor Center in Slovenia, Krško is much bigger and is completely sealed during operation since it's a PWR reactor in a power plant
Эффект Вавилова - Черенкова освещает не только путь к новым научным открытиям. Например, обитателям дна Мирового океана он просто дает возможность видеть. Дело в том, что в морской воде растворен радиоактивный изотоп кальция, которые испускает быстрые электроны, вызывая тот самый синий свет там, куда солнечные лучи попросту не могут проникнуть. Благодаря этому у всех глубоководных рыб сохранились глаза и зрение, а свечение Вавилова - Черенкова для них буквально луч света в темном царстве.
