That lightning bolt to SHEDD says the controller can identify it. So

How do you know that's what it means? I don't doubt you, just can't
find the info/definition on the lightning bolt symbol.

I suspect that piece of trivia is buried somewhere in a King course.
But if you look at an approach plate labeled RADAR REQUIRED (BWI ILS
28), you will only see that symbol associated with the word "RADAR".

Not at all. Look at BED ILS 29--radar required, and JAYSE and MORIS have
the jagged symbol, but no "RADAR" label.

With all due respect, it's pretty dangerous to assign operational
significance to an approach-chart symbol by guesswork or by suspected King
trivia, if the symbol doesn't appear in the legend for the chart. There's
really nothing to indicate that the jagged symbol is anything other than an
arrow pointing from the name to the fix.
