Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Plant signals from the Borssele nuclear power plant in the Netherlands were analyzed to investigate the characteristics of neutron flux fluctuation in the low-frequency range 0 to 0.5 Hz, focusing on its spatially coherent motion. The second azimuthal oscillation mode was observed at the frequency of ~0.03 Hz while the corewide oscillation mode was at ~0.1 Hz, and the fluctuation at the corewide mode was much stronger.
