Measurements of the thermal neutron flux for an accelerator-based photoneutron source

Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2016
To have access to an appropriate neutron source is one of the most demanding requirements for neutron studies. This is important specially in laboratory and clinical applications, which need more compact and accessible sources. The most known neutron sources are fission reactors and natural isotopes, but there is an increasing interest for using ...

Accelerator-based epithermal neutron sources for boron neutron capture therapy of brain tumors

Journal of Neuro-oncology, 2003
This paper reviews the development of low-energy light ion accelerator-based neutron sources (ABNSs) for the treatment of brain tumors through an intact scalp and skull using boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). A major advantage of an ABNS for BNCT over reactor-based neutron sources is the potential for siting within a hospital.

Accelerator Based Neutron Sources for Neutron Capture Therapy

1992
Accelerator based neutron sources are an attractive alternative to nuclear fission reactors for several reasons; size, cost and safety being the most obvious. Although the first clinical trials with keV neutrons for neutron capture therapy (NCT) will be made with reactor produced neutrons, a second generation hospital based clinical unit might well be ...

Linear electron accelerator based neutron source

Journal of Instrumentation
Abstract Neutron sources are of great utility for various applications, especially in the fields of nuclear medicine, nuclear energy and imaging. In this paper, we present the design of a linear electron accelerator based neutron source via photo-neutron generation.

Low Energy Accelerator-Based Neutron Sources for Neutron Capture Therapy

1993
Neutron beams for neutron capture therapy (NCT) have been studied by a number of investigators,1,2,3 using high flux research reactors as the source of neutrons. There are very few research reactors in the world, probably less than ten, that can meet the conditions of both flux intensity and neutron energy spectrum.

Compact Accelerator Based Neutron Source for 99mTc Production

2016
The radioisotope Technetium-99m (^{99m}Tc) is used in 85\% of all nuclear medicine procedures. ^{99m}Tc is produced from its precursor Molybdenum-99 (⁹⁹Mo), which until recently was produced in only five research reactors worldwide. Recently a number of accelerator-based methods have been proposed to fill this gap and to diversify this supply chain. In
