The mechanism in how the radiation shoots out at speeds close to the speed of light, however, is still unknown
I sort of understand what is meant, but this is poorly explained.
The radiation being gamma rays, is of course travelling at the speed of light, being light. The ionised gas that is responsible for the generation of the GRB, is what is travelling close to the speed of light (and is not radiation in the traditional sense)
