Do I need a detector for fast neutrons? I will be placing this detector inside the blast chamber with the reactor so that it can detect any of these radiations.

For instance, you suggested using a cloud chamber. How do you build one? How does one detect 6 MeV protons? Where can I buy a scintillation detector?
