Does anyone know what the fluid is called that is inside the AEC reactor tank cars? 

Rheoscopic fluid.

Any chance the stuff in the cars is actually shampoo?  Found this looking up rheoscopic fluid: Glycol stearate is the ester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid. It is generally used as a pearlizing agent in shampoos and liquid hand soaps.
