--Is that... An open fission reactor?
WHY WERE YOU CLOSE ENOUGH TO TAKE PICTURES?!!?!?
If, at any time you can see the blue flash, that means that you have already had way too much radiation. In the early days of nuclear reactors, most fatalities were from improperly handling the Uranium. One scientist dropped a peice and the resulting radioactive burst that resulted killed at least 4 people outright. (Contrary to popular belief, Uranium is VERY capable of spontaneous fission.)
You took a massive risk my friend, I can only hope you are not permanently injured.
within current guidelines, we cannot 'pulse' the reactor, which is the 'blue flash' you're probably referring to.
The 'blue glow' is Čerenkov radiation. My dosimetry reports from working there for 4 years will show that it is boringly harmless.
I have not heard that story about Uranium. Where did you get it?
And yes, our research reactor does offer one of the best views of the core.
