Secondary neutrons produced in the interactions of primary cosmic rays with matter are a relevant component of the radiation field in spaceflight and aviation and play a major role in radiation protection in these fields. On the International Space Station, the ORION spacecraft of the ARTEMIS program or any human-rated vehicle, neutrons are produced in the walls and other structures of the...
