Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) experiments at the planned Electron-IonCollider will be affected by details of the hadron formation inside the nuclearvolume. Besides semi-inclusive particle production experiments decays of thetarget nucleus via emission of neutrons provide an additional opportunity toprobe this domain. This paper reports on the hybrid dynamical+statisticalcalculations of low-energy neutron production in muon- and virtualphoton-induced collisions with nuclei. We confirm the conclusion that the E665data on neutron production in $\mu^-$ + Pb DIS at 470 GeV indicate a strongsuppression of the final state interaction for hadrons with momenta above $\sim1$ GeV/c. Ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) can be used to test thissuppression. The calculations of the neutron multiplicity distributions and$p_t$-spectra in photon - nucleus collisions at the energies accessible at theLHC and RHIC are presented for several models of hadron formation. We arguethat studies of neutron production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions opena new window on the small-$x$ dynamics and hadron component of the photon wavefunction.
