text: Neutrons (due to their lack of charge) are readily absorbed by a nucleus.
text: The neutron is a special elementary particle in nuclear physics : it is easily absorbed in a nucleus because of its lack of electric charge: nucleon itself, it naturally interacts with other nucleons.
text: However, neutrons almost invariably impact and are absorbed by other nuclei in the vicinity long before this happens (newly created fission neutrons move at about 7% of the speed of light, and even moderated neutrons move at about 8 times the speed of sound).
