Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Neutron Sweeping
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 20) and its weight modifiers. Tier 5 opens after 6 tier 4 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.

In the game
An accelerated plume of neutron radiation "paints" the planet surface, severely degrading most materials and directly destroying biological tissue.

}Neutron Sweeping: questions
How do I get Neutron Sweeping in Stellaris?
Research Colossi first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Neutron Sweeping can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It is a rare technology: its draw weight is low, and some are only offered after an event, a relic or a special project. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Neutron Sweeping do?
It unlocks Neutron Sweep (ship component).
What is the ID of Neutron Sweeping?
The technology's ID is tech_pk_neutron. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_pk_neutron (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Neutron Sweeping cost?
24,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
