The War Lords' Security Chief decided to use a neutron bomb to destroy the humans' resistance movement, but the Second Doctor saved them by transporting them in a SIDRAT to Central control. (TV: The War Games)

In the 1970s, the Third Doctor used a neutron bomb on the Moon to destroy the Daleks' base there. (COMIC: The Disintegrator)

Steven Taylor found something he believed was "some kind of neutron bomb" inside the Monk's TARDIS. He speculated that it would be fired by the Monk's atomic cannon. (TV: "Checkmate")
