Neutrons produced

neutron source says "Typically photons begin to produce neutrons on interaction with normal matter at energies of about 7 to 40 MeV, which means that radiotherapy facilities using megavoltage X-rays also produce neutrons, and some require neutron shielding." Can we find a source and mention it here ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could explain how they relate to gamma rays

Can be as energetic, are identical, differing only in how they are produced, and the energy profile/spectrum ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:33, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
