Before revision: In addition, electrons of energy over about 50 MeV may induce giant dipole resonance in nuclides by a mechanism which is the inverse of internal conversion, and thus produce neutrons by a mechanism similar to that of photoneutrons.Giant Dipole Resonance Neutron Yields Produced by Electrons as a Function of Target Material and Thickness Large devices Nuclear fission reactors Nuclear fission which takes place within a reactor produces very large quantities of neutrons and can be used for a variety of purposes including power generation and experiments.
