[ RadSafe ] Physicists, physicians, engineers photograph radiation beams in the human body through the Cherenkov effect.

[Lantzelot]

Very interesting article.
It is also interesting to note that they seem to know nothing at all 
about nuclear power. The second picture i labeled:
"Cherenkov emissions from the spent fuel rods from Japan's Fukushima 
nuclear power plant incident."
Here is better information about what the picture shows: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Test_Reactor

The following sentence is also a bit weird: "TV viewers may have seen 
images of sunken fuel rods from a nuclear power plant emitting a 
blue-green glow."

Best wishes,
