There is fire at nuclear power plant in Ukraine

,politics,Ukraine,countries,Russia,nuclear
The russian troops invade working nuclear power plant in the city of Zaporozhye (Ukraine). This is not Chernobyl, this is another one. They say that there is no radiation contamination. But everyone remembers what the communists said about Chernobyl.

"On Thursday, the IAEA said it was in consultation with the Ukrainian authorities to provide the best possible assistance to maintain safety at the country's four nuclear power plants in the current challenging environment." So, we have 4 possible Chernobyls now.

Why does it glow blue? It's the Cherenkov radiation:

'Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.'

It's going faster than the speed of light (in water). The blue glow is basically a sonic boom but for light.
