Neutron Radiation 1


Neutron Radiation 1 : Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Disasters. The emission of neutrons from atomic nuclei. Neutrons are uncharged subatomic particles of nearly the same mass as protons. Interaction with atomic nuclei in matter results indirectly in ionization and thus an absorbed dose to biological material. Neutron bombardment of heavy nuclei (e.g., uranium, plutonium) can result in fission. Highly penetrating, neutrons can be stopped by thick masses of concrete, water or paraffin.
