Gamma rays have a quality factor of about one.
One use of gamma rays is in cancer treatment, where they can be directed at cancer cells to destroy them.
Gamma Rays
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and are absorbed by heavy materials such as lead which is often used for such shielding. Neutrons are uncharged particles which can pass through many materials, but are strongly absorbed by for example cadmium and boron, which are said to have a high capture cross section for neutrons. Therefore effective neutron shields can use such materials.
No, gamma rays are not neutrons. They are electromagnetic rays or electromagnetic energy.
Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons have mass but no charge, while gamma rays are massless and have no charge. Neutrons are typically involved in nuclear reactions, while gamma rays are involved in the release of excess energy from an unstable nucleus.

Light, thermal, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, beta. Later the fallout will release alpha, beta, and gamma rays.
Heat, fission products, neutrons, gamma rays
Principally alpha particles, but also gamma rays, neutrons from the spontaneous fission, etc.
There are various kinds of harmful ionizing radiation. These include alpha, beta, and gamma rays; free neutrons; X-rays; and ultraviolet light. Depending on the specifics of the waste, nuclear waste can emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and neutrons.
Yes, uranium isotopes emit alpha particles, gamma rays, beta rays, spontaneous fission neutrons.
