Production of epithermal neutron beams for BNCT
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, a promising modality for the treatment of malignant tumors, relies on the use of neutron beams of suitable energy and intensity. For deep-seated tumors, simulations indicate that the optimal neutron energy is in the epithermal region, and in particular between 1 and 10 keV.

Constraining the Hydration of Clay Minerals and Abundances of Amorphous Phases in Gale Crater, Mars
Abstract Both water and organic matter are required for the development and persistence of life. Phyllosilicates (clay minerals) have high surface areas that easily sorb water and organic matter. The Curiosity rover has investigated several hundred meters of stratigraphy in Gale crater, including where clays were detected from orbit.

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body
Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

Effect of Epithermal Fission on Neutron Multiplication [PDF]
A formula for the effect of epithermal fission on the neutron multiplication factor is derived with a modified four factor approach. The fraction of neutron multiplication due to epithermal fission is expressed by The deduction factor sensitively depends on neutron leakage in the fast and the resonance regions through the effective number of neutrons ...

Nuclear Data Uncertainty Quantification for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors [PDF]
The use of the F-19 isotope in the nuclear fuel cycle is already well established for fuel enrichment, but future plans for Gen-IV reactors, such as Molten Salt Reactors, could utilize a fluorine-based salt as a basis for the fuel.

Measurement of Neutron Parameters in the Treatment Beamof In-Hospital Neutron Irradiator
In order to verify the design specifications of in-hospital neutron irradiator (IHNI), the neutron fluence rates at the exit of its thermal and epithermal neutron beams were measured by using the method of cadmium difference.
