A TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) reactor is a type of research reactor that is used for a wide range of purposes, including training, research, isotope production, and other applications. TRIGA reactors are known for their safety, reliability, and versatility, and they are used in many countries around the world.

TRIGA reactors operate on the principle of controlled, sustained nuclear fission, in which a chain reaction is initiated and maintained within the reactor core. The reaction is controlled by a series of mechanisms, including the use of control rods and regulation of the flow of coolant through the core. The heat generated by the fission reaction is used to produce steam, which can be used to generate electricity or for other purposes.

TRIGA reactors are typically small, with a power output of less than 10 megawatts, and are used for a wide range of applications, including training and education, research and development, and the production of radioisotopes for medical and industrial uses. They are also used for the testing of materials and fuels, and for the production of tritium, an isotope of hydrogen that is used in the production of nuclear weapons.

OMG. the ramdom white dots that are visible in the last footage are actually the electrons responsible of the cherenkov blue light

That is the most terrifying thing a human being could ever see.. And it's here on youtube.
