Yes, that's Cherenkov radiation!
Added 2023-10-23 20:57:13 +0000 UTCIn the next episode, I take you inside the Dresden Nuclear Power Plant in Illinois, USA for an up-close look at how nuclear waste is actually created, managed, and stored. I got to see Cherenkov radiation with my own eyes, and may have kissed something holding nuclear material. We'll see if the government lets me keep that in!

Would it be safe to swim on the surface of that, or would the radiation be too high?
