The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron 's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts. The term temperature is used, since hot, thermal and cold neutrons are moderated in a medium with a certain temperature.pithermal neutrons have energies between 1 eV and 10 keV and smaller nuclear cross sections than thermal neutrons.
The energy of nuclear fission is released as kinetic energy of the fission products and fragments, and as electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays; in a nuclear reactor, the energy is converted to heat as the particles and gamma rays collide with the atoms that make up the reactor and its working fluid, usually water or occasionally heavy water or molten salts.
