Neutron leakage
Neutrons that escape from the vicinity of the fissionable material in a reactor core. Neutrons that leak out of the fuel region are no longer available to cause fission and must be absorbed by shielding placed around the reactor pressure vessel for that purpose.
A service to the public by The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
