Studies were performed to assess theoretical tumor control probability (TCP) for brain-tumor treatment with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using epithermal neutron sources from reactors. The existing epithermal-neutron beams at the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor (BMRR) Facility, the Petten High-Flux Reactor Facility (HFR), and the Finnish Research Reactor 1 (FiR1) were analyzed and characterized using common analytical and measurement methods allowing for this intercomparison.
