Information About

Neutron Activation




In places with high Neutron Flux es (primarily the cores of Nuclear Reactor s) neutron activation contributes to material erosion, and the materials themselves must be disposed of as low-level Radioactive Waste . Some materials are more subject to neutron activation than others, so a suitably chosen low-activation material can significantly reduce these problems. One way to demonstrate that Nuclear Fusion is occurring inside a Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor is to use a Geiger Counter to measure the radioactivity induced in a sheet of Aluminum Foil .

The lasting radiation from a Nuclear Weapon is in large part due to the neutron activation of the bomb itself and the surrounding material.
