An image of a nuclear reactor I made recently. Can't quite get the glow effect I
wanted.

It looks good but if I were you I would shut it down PDQ. It should not 
be glowing :-P

Cherenkov radiation. Perfectly normal for an active nuclear reactor.

Maybe a bit too purple though.

Well, I did /not/ call it perfectly normal to stand around and watch a
nuclear reactor core up close while it looks like that. Better get a few
feet of concrete between you and that glow.

Apparently you get superpowers if you're exposed to the stuff.

Good detailed replica of the one shown at

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Advanced_Test_Reactor.jpg

Maybe some kind of combination of scattering+emitting media with radiosity and
camera blur would help?

I like your image (at the moment is my desktop wallpaper). Compared with 
the Wikipedia one, perhaps it lacks some ground fog.

While I haven't seen a reactor core in person, in the photos I've seen, the glow
is on the slightly green side of blue.  I would describe it as cerulean.
