Purple Energy

Green Energy has become a household name.

Why not call energy from nuclear origin purple energy.

In the process of heat generation a purple light is produced in the core, that cannot be seen in todays nuclear stations. This is called Cherenkoff radiation.

In water moderated research reactors, as the one I assisted to at Schiphol in the 1970's, this was clearly visible.
