Can a civilian nuclear reactor produce axions? They may decay into x-ray photons, and weigh a billionth that of an electron.

Just another reminder that nuclear operators or health physicists might have no clue of what genie they may have let out of the bottle, so-to-speak.
Then there's that confirmation of Majorana fermions that exist as both matter and antimatter. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2014/10/01/science.1259327
