[edit] History
Chekov Radiation was supposedly invented by Oscar Wilde on a boring rainy Sunday afternoon some billion years ago. But nobody knows for sure as this knowledge was lost with the disappearance of the dinosaurs.
After this tragic accident, Chekov Radiation was reencountered by Ensign Pavel Andreyevich Chekov (hence the name) on board of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise. During a fight with an Iraqi Bird-of-Prey the main screen on the Enterprise's bridge turned all blue. Despite all his, efforts Chekov couldn't control the Enterprise any more. It did not accept any of his commands and was destroyed. Events like this have become known as the blue screen of death and were later tracked down to be caused by a sudden surge of Chekov Radiation.
Chekov Radiation was first mass-produced by Theodore Esla, the son of an Hungerian actor specialized on silent films. He built a big scary machine that produces giga-lots of Chekov Radiation that is then filled into small blue pills and sold throughout the world. The machine still runs today and generates about 67% of the world's production every month.
[edit] Uses
“Who with a clear state of mind could need this stuff? I wouldn't know.”
But apparently somebody does as Chekov Radiation nowadays is used to read BlueRay DVDs as well as drive nuclear reactors. The latter obviously is unnecessary as they are quite dangerous, can get your country invaded and there are more powerful energy sources around such as the Cat-Toast Device or the Stormtroopers vs. Red_Shirts Device.
Chekov Radiation is also responsible for the so-called blue-shift, a phenomenon that mainly occurs when big chunks of interstellar rocks are threatening to collide with Earth.

There is a more humorous article about Chekov Radiation over at Wikipedia. It even has a nice photo. But don't expect too much, as those folks can't even get the name right.
