Exposure from terrestrial radiation. The composition of the earth's crust is a major source of natural radiation. The main contributors are natural deposits of uranium, potassium and thorium which, in the process of natural decay, will release small amounts of ionizing radiation.-rays: X-rays are a form of radiation similar to gamma radiation but they are produced mainly by artificial means rather than from radioactive substances. Neutron radiation: Neutron radiation occurs when neutrons are ejected from the nucleus by nuclear fission and other processes.
Apart from cosmic radiation, spontaneous fission is the only natural source of neutrons (n). 1  A common. source of neutrons is the nuclear reactor, in which the splitting of a uranium or plutonium nucleus is. accompanied by the emission of neutrons. The neutrons emitted from one fission event can strike the.
