That bright blue glow in a nuclear reactor? It's caused by the Cherenkov effect - how cool is that for #NuclearScienceWeek? 🧪 The Cherenkov effect is on full display at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant as crews safely offload 193 assemblies from the Unit 1 reactor to the Spent Fuel Pit during our scheduled refueling outage. The blue glow occurs when charged particles move through the water faster than light can! 💧🟦 | Tennessee Valley Authority

When a nuclear reactor first powers on, it glows with an eerie, electric blue — one of the rarest sights on Earth. That light is called Cherenkov radiation. It happens when charged particles move through water faster than light can travel in that same water. It’s not fire. It’s pure energy, breaking a physical boundary. Discovered in 1934 by Russian physicist Pavel Cherenkov — and later explained by Ilya Frank and Igor Tamm — this phenomenon earned them the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics. It’s one
