Fun fact, the static generated by gamma radiation actually looks a lot like confetti with random pixels and streaks of pixels turning blue, yellow, red, green or a combination in true random fashion. I know this because I used to perform visual inspections on nuclear reactors.
that’s awesome. did you see cherenkov radiation?
Yes, but only from far away. The fuel bundles sort of glow like a blue light saber. Especially the “hot” ones right after we open the head of the reactor. I worked in various BWRs domestically and a few international. I spent many hours staring into the reactor glow from up on the refuel floor waiting for other work activities to finish up so I could do mine. It’s mesmerizing to look at but it gets real burning after like 3 days.
amazing. you mean like the radiation can burn your eyes if you stare too long? I’ve always wanted to see it but I doubt they let random civilians stare at active reactors
Forbidden buttplug.
Doubly forbidden because it doesn’t have a lip, so it’ll get stuck. Imagine having to explain to the government why you have an orphaned source shoved up your ass.
