A neutron can be absorbed by a nucleus, making it ____________. The radioactive nuclei then emit ionising radiation: α, β or γ. Hence why neutron radiation is called _____________ ionising
Radioactive, Indirectly

Neutron absorption can make nuclei emit gamma radiation, so some nice thick _________ is added to neutron radiation shielding.
