[ RadSafe ] Evidence of neutron leakage at the Fukushima nuclear plant from measurements of radioactive S-35 in California (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)

[McClung, Danny]

Since there was activation in the seawater coolant, there was no
"leakage" of neutrons.  It's a reactor.  The neutron activity isn't all
going to cease instantaneously upon shutdown (or for a good time
afterwards).  I fail to see the point of this academic exercise.
Perhaps someone will enlighten me.  Actually, I know you will.

Notice the use of the term "harmful radiation" in the text.
