Epithermal Neutron Beam Generator Design for Bnct
BNCT is a radiotherapy modality based on the neutron capture and fission reactions that occur when boron-10 is irradiated by thermal neutrons. This reaction generates alpha and lithium that produce high density of ionizations in close to the reaction site. The concept provides high absorbed doses into the cancerous cells preserving the adjacent healthy tissues. Nowadays, the available neutron s...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of epithermal neutron resonance self-shielding factors in foils of different materials.
Epithermal neutron resonance self-shielding factors in foils of materials used as activation detectors or as targets for radionuclide production have been calculated using the MCNP code. Two irradiation conditions have been considered: (a) foils immersed into an isotropic neutron flux and (b) foils submitted to a collimated neutron beam. The self-shielding factors, Gres(t), for gold, indium, ma...
متن کاملProduction of a novel high strength heavy concrete using tourmaline and galena for neutron and photon radiation shielding
Background: High density concrete is extensively used for efficient radiation attenuation in radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors. Over the past eight years, some efficient galena-based concrete samples for shielding X or gamma rays was produced. The goal of this study was to produce a novel high density concrete against neutron and photon radiations using tourmaline and galena. Materials an...
متن کاملAccelerator based epithermal neutron source for NCT
Nowadays neutron capture therapy looks very promising method of cancer treatment, especially for brain tumors by reason of selective damage cancer cells. Treatment effect of this method based on neutrons nuclear reaction with nuclides B, Gd. These nuclides have high cross-section of interaction with thermal neutrons. Unfortunately, thermal neutrons could enter only in near surface tissue and co...
