Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Neutron radiation

Neutron radiation is a kind of ionizing radiation which consists of free neutrons. A result of nuclear fusion, it consists of the release of free neutrons from atoms, and these free neutrons react with nuclei of other atoms to form new isotopes, which, in turn, may produce radiation. Neutrons may be emitted from nuclear fusion or fission  or from any number of different nuclear reaction such as from radioactive decay or reactions from particle interactions. Large neutron sources are rare, and are usually limited to large sized devices like nuclear reactors. Health physics neutron radiation is considered a fourth radiation hazard alongside the other types of radiation. Another, sometimes more severe hazard of neutron radiation, So it is harmful for us. The radiation affects our skin and muscle tissue.
