Utkozet was a location, possibly a state or province, in the Viery Territory on the human Inner Colonies|colony world of Reach. Various locations at Utkozet became sites for battles between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant Empire during the Fall of Reach, including the Battle at Szurdok Ridge.Halo: Reach, campaign level ''Tip of the Spear''

Cerenkov radiation (also spelled Cerenkov or Cherenkov) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as a proton) passes through an insulator at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium. The characteristic "blue glow" of nuclear reactors is due to Cerenkov radiation. It is named after Russian scientist wikipedia:Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov|Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, the 1958 Nobel Prize winner who was the first to characterize it rigorously.Wikipedia:Cerenkov radiation|Cerenkov radiation at Wikipedia Cerenkov radiation only occurs in a medium such as air or water because the speed of light in the medium is slowed. Contrary to popular belief, this phenomena could occur in space, due to there being an extremely low density of particles, along with the container of the fissile material itself.
When a starship transitions from Slipstream space|slipspace to normal space, or vice versa, the glow of Cerenkov radiation emitted by fissile materials, such as plutonium, can give its presence away to enemy forces even if the ship possesses stealth systems. As a result, if complete stealth is required, UNSC prowler|prowlers are forced to jettison any on-board nuclear weapons before transitioning back to normal space to avoid detection.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 187'' In addition, nukes launched from slipspace can easily be detected by enemy sensors, despite the use of Stealth ablative coating|stealth coatings or lead linings.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 15''
Components of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor, likely its Fusion reactor|microfusion plant, produce Cerenkov radiation. The design of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI/R variant|Recon and MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI/S variant|Scout variants specifically reduces the amount of radiation emitted for stealth purposes.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''pages 152, 165''
