This PBF/BNCT Program Monthly Bulletin is the primary vehicle for prompt national and international dissemination of research progress and the development status of tools essential for optimum BNCT clinical application. Accordingly, beginning with this issue, PBF neutron-filter design progress and PBF standby task summaries will be added to the subjects previously reported. Highlights of the PBF/BNCT Program during November include progress within several areas. Topics include: gross boron analysis in tissue blood and urine, analytical methodologies development for BSH (sodium borocaptate) purity determination, boron microscopic (subcellular) analytical development, noninvasive boron quantification determination, dosimetry, analytical radiation transport and interaction modeling for BNCT, large animal model studies, and neutron source and facility preparation.
