What is a sentence for neutron?

What are the different types of radiation?
There are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, X-rays, radio frequecy and neutron radiation. Only Gamma radiation and X-rays are actually energy. Alpha particles - helium nuclei produced by radioactive decay, they are easily blocked, but harmful if ingested, inhaled, or allowed into the body through a wound Beta particles - electrons and positrons given off during decay or fission, they can be stopped by protective clothing and a mask; These can damage skin and produce a burn similar to a thermal burn Gamma radiation and X-rays - gamma rays are high-energy photons emitted during a fission and fusion and by fallout; like x-rays, which are distinguished by their source (electrons), gamma rays can result in whole-body radiation exposure Neutrons (neutron radiation) - large nuclear particles that have the potential to ionize multiple cells; they are emitted in large numbers during a fission or fusion reaction, and can create dangerously radioactive isotopes from common elements; they do not present a direct fallout hazard
