Quote (Henry J @ Nov. 20 2011,11:07) | Does "neutron activation" mean hitting the nucleus with a neutron so that it absorbs it? (Course, that would change it to a different isotope if that's what the phrase means.)

Yes - I just looked it up and it's what I always referred to as "neutron capture". Isotope + n -> heavier isotope -> decay or fission
