What do all of those different doohickeys do?

This particular image is from a university research reactor. I’d assume most of those doohickeys are various measurement probes, measuring things like temperature and the levels of various types of radiation.

Cherenkov radiation
You know sonic booms? This is basically like ‘optical booms’ from radiation in water that’s traveling faster than the speed-of-light-in-water (which is less than the speed of light in a vacuum)
