Disclosed are techniques involving the acquisition of an X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum from a sample of a crystalline material, comparison of the obtained XRD spectrum to a reference XRD spectrum associated with the crystalline material, determination of neutron radiation exposure based on the comparison, and output of the neutron radiation exposure. The comparison reflects changes in diffraction features attributable to neutron-induced lattice modifications. These changes may include variations in peak position, intensity, or width, which correlate with exposure levels. The output may represent a quantified dose or a classification of exposure. Such techniques enable non-destructive assessment of neutron radiation effects using spectral data derived from crystalline materials.
