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.http://sploid.gizmodo.com/seeing-a-nuclear-reactor-start-up-is-cooler-than-my-sci-1596286481
World's most powerful dam opens in China as gushing water generates the same power as FIFTEEN nuclear reactors
The giant and controversial Three Gorges Dam in China has launched the last of its generators, just as it hits its annual flood peak.
The final 32 generators went into operation last month, making it the world's largest hydropower project, built on the Yangtze River in the Hubei Province.
It is designed to decrease the risk of flooding during the current peak rainfall season, as well as store and distribute water during the dry periods.
A series of incredible photos show the sheer force of the flood water released from seven spillways after heavy downpours in the upper reaches of the dam caused the highest flood peak of the year.
