neutron radiation hazards
This is something I should have written before, but better late than never.
Neutrons are ionizing particles, but usually associated with a gamma ray, which can ionize indirectly.
gamma rays have great penetrating ability. Taspasan entire human body, large amount of materials and air travel hundreds of meters without problems (remember that depending on the source, which varies its speed.) Stands with a block of lead, concrete or uranium.
In Canvi, neutrons, although not ionizing, are still very dangerous.
They have greater penetrating power than gamma rays, and a bloc of more than 2 cm thick massive lead they may fall short.
The route followed is very brittle (unlike gamma rays, with a rectilinear path) as are repeatedly hitting other atoms and are changing the route.
Once you have lost all their speed, activate the atom against which penetre.Esto makes a small source of neutrons not kill anyone, but a very intense source of neutrons kills very quickly.
can be used to protect materials that absorb neutrons, such as boron or cadmium or uranium, which makes them bounce. If a source
locked in a box of solid uranium, the neutrons will not come out, but the bad things that will trigger the air inside ... or turned back on nuetrones source or making it more intense or simply ineffective.
So you know, do not play much neutron sources ... Or separate Americium Beryllium if not !!!;-)
