Corona discharge- nuclear power plant

About the sound

This was recorded inside the area of Ringhals Nuclear power Plant in Ringhals Sweden. It´s the sound of an electrical discharge from a high voltage system. This sparkling noise can often be heard in moist weather and is caused by the ionization of a fluid (air) surrounding a conductor that is electrically charged.
