Neutrons emissions are very difficult to shield. All nukes emit a small amount of neutrons, but very few other things do.

Apparently we have been able to build detectors capable of detecting neutrons specifically, instead of just radiation in general.

The effective range of these detectors is classified. All we know is that it is very limited (a few hundred feet if we are very lucky).
