Neutrons

     - Neutrally charged, medium mass atomic particles
     - Emitted from the nucleus due to fission of the atom
     - Wide spectrum of energies
     - Can easily penetrate many materials
     - Generally produced by reactors or accelerators
     - Can "activate” non-radioactive materials
