Original Note:
In media like water, electrons do travel faster than light when accelerated by a nuclear reaction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198565574.001.0001 Water molecules are excited and emit light. The constructive interference leads to an observable blue light called Cherenkov radiation. It is the result and not the cause. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/what-is-cherenkov-radiation
