result in around ten to thirty neutrons per event, of which the bulk are known as "evaporation neutrons" (~2 MeV), while a minority are known as "cascade neutrons" with energies reaching up to the GeV range. Although spallation is a very efficient technique of neutron production, the technique generates high-energy particles, therefore requiring shielding for safety.
