Measurement of Neutron Flux and Gamma Dose Rate Distribution Inside a Water Phantom for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Study at Dalat Research Reactor

Exposure dose rate to the tumor and surrounding cells during neutron beam irradiation in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) comes not only from heavy charged particles produced from the 10B(n,α)7 Li nuclear reaction, but also from neutron-induced reactions with other biological elements in living...

Measurement of Neutron Flux and Gamma Dose Rate Distribution Inside a Water Phantom for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Study at Dalat Research Reactor
description Exposure dose rate to the tumor and surrounding cells during neutron beam irradiation in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) comes not only from heavy charged particles produced from the 10B(n,α)7 Li nuclear reaction, but also from neutron-induced reactions with other biological elements in living tissue, as well as from gamma rays leaked from the reactor core. At Dalat Research Reactor, Vietnam, the neutron and gamma dose rate distribution inside a water phantom were measured by using activation method and Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) detector, respectively.
