Not when neutrons repeal each other. Neutrons have spin 1/2 and therefore obey the pauli exclusion principle, meaning two neutrons cannot occupy the same space at the same time. When two neutrons' wavefunctions overlap, they feel a strong repulsive force. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction ..
When electrons are hot, they will repeal more than when they are cold because their wave functions are larger.
