Wait, what?

Antimatter neutrinos being generated by the earth's core.

Ouch. Bad BAD science reporting.
Antimatter Neutrinos already have a name. they're called Antineutrinos.
Geo means Earth.
Some reporter is incapable of even the most basic fact checking.

I had a 'wait. what?' moment on reading the article title as well.

But it seems that they are being generated by the decay of radioactive elements. Nothing strange here, just SCIENCE!

Pretty much my point. Don't they have a science editor who knows his/her stuff there?

I'm guessing the reporter watched 2012 where (I shit you not) the ultimate culpirt of all the destruction was mutant neutrinos.
Yes.

Nontheless, it still is pretty cool. We've got a freakin' nuclear reactor for a planetary core! It puts a whole new spin on Geothermal Power, don't it?

Cue the lunatic fringe environmentalists in 3... 2... 1...

so is my Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum revolver a Lunatic Fringe Removal Tool?

I'm thinking, like, a Flowbee for greenpeacers..

dude.

Actually, no. We've known this was almost certainly the case to some degree since sometime in the early fourties.
That they are finding actual evidence of it now is, in fact, pretty cool, but honestly, the idea is a concequence of well established physics and may have been proposed earlier than that.
Radioisotopes on average are pretty dratted heavy. Like Iron, they tend to sink in molten solutions. Usually, they're heavier than iron, which means they sink in molten iron solutions too.  The rest of the planet is pretty heavy in it's own right. It pushes down on the things that are sinking. This puts a lot of radioactive stuff in (relitive) close proximity to itself, which, minus a lot of details no one but a fission engineer would care about, is how neuclear reactors work.
