See post #104, Dog. Third paragraph, I think. Who around here knows the diff between neutron detectors and geiger counters?

Well, a geiger counter only detect ionizing radiation like á, â, and ã radiations. (á, â are fast-moving particles, while ã is electromagnetic radiation.) Neutrons have no charge, unlike á and â, and therefore they're difficult to get a handle on.

Check out Post #149 on this same thread, with some useful links. Thanks to spunkets for the information.
