(An accelerator neutron source for BNCT)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5800327
The objectives of this proposal are twofold. One objective is to design and test (using the OSU Van de Graaff accelerator) a moderator assembly for a thermal neutron source for the treatment of superficial tumors by Boron Neutron Capture Therapy. We will identify the current of 2.5 MeV protons which is necessary to treat a patient in less than one hour. Our second objective is to design and thermally test a target for our thermal and epithermal source of neutrons for BNCT. Our cumulative work to date in fulfilling these project goals is described. 19 refs., 25 figs., 1 tab.
