If their are any radioactive materials on board a geiger counter will detect them. Their may be neutrons present from reactions, but there will always be other forms of radiation present.

alpha=a flying helium neucleus
protons fly from neutron decays. 1/2 life of neutron ~12 seconds
beta= flying electrons
