Neutron radiation


Neutron radiation - ionizing radiation, which consists of free neutrons and is produced by nuclear fission, decay and fusion. Radiation neutrons, by reacting with matter and decaying neutrons, produce ionized molecules, interacting with atomic nuclei, produce new isotopes that, in turn, can produce ionizing radiation.

Neutron radiation is part of the penetrating radiation generated by a nuclear explosion.

In nuclear fission there are neutrons:

The source of instant neutrons may be a fission reaction of heavy elements and a reaction of tritium deuterium synthesis or only a fission reaction. These neutrons are emitted in about 10 μs.

Immediate neutron radiation is a glaring factor only in nuclear explosions.

Neutrons delayed by nuclear explosions are fission products. Most of the neutrons are emitted in the first 10 seconds after the explosion. The total energy of these neutrons is between several and a dozen percent of the total energy of immediate neutrons emitted during fission reactions.
