I have been reading up on radioactivity (Wikipedia). I keep coming across articles which talk about emission of Neutrons (during Plutonium decay, for example). Now I know alpha radiation is basically Helium-4 nuclei, but that consists of both Protons and Neutrons combined in a nucleus. What type of radiation consists of only Neutrons? Or are Neutrons ejected during decay not considered "radiation"?
