Since the radiation is usually in the higher frequency range, I guessed correctly. A lot of the radiation is invisible.

I didn't click green because that was too obvious. I guessed yellow because of yellow cake uranium.

And yet it shows up on regular video, if it is on a high level!

Easy to see in those reactors that use water for shielding as well as moderation and cooling

Not really. It shows up as noise only. In fact it was by noise levels on the video that Japanese estimated the radiation level in the pedestal under the RPV of reactor #2 using their scorpion robot a few months ago.

Guessed right because I've seen it. We have a water pool research/teaching PULSTAR reactor on the NC State campus.

I too have seen it many times. I occasionally have work in the pool of the High Flux Isotope Reactor, the highest flux reactor in the world. The blue is also emanating from other things "cooling" in the pool.

Cherenkov radiation is Blue under water - - I got that one (but missed the next 3 so I quit while I was behind)

That is what I was talking about, it shows up as noise, so its visible on video ( you can actually see it moving away from the source, as little specs/sparks)!
