Tolerance Flux of Thermal Neutrons [PDF]
Nature, 1949 THE danger of neutrons on the human body arises from two factors : the slowing down of fast neutrons and the absorption of neutrons. In the case of thermal neutrons, only absorption can take place, either in hydrogen to form a deuteron with emission of a 2.2-MeV. γ-ray, or by nitrogen-14 to form a carbon, with the emission of a 0.7-MeV. proton.

Thermal neutron intensity measurement with fission chamber in current, pulse and Campbell modes [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 In thermal nuclear reactors, most of the power is generated by thermal neutron induced fission. Therefore, fission chambers with targets that respond directly to slow neutrons are of great interest for thermal neutron flux measurements due to relatively ...

NCrystal: A library for thermal neutron transport
Computer Physics Communications, 2020 An open source software package for modelling thermal neutron transport is presented. The code facilitates Monte Carlo-based transport simulations and focuses in the initial release on interactions in both mosaic single crystals as well as polycrystalline materials and powders.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Clinical Application and Research Progress
Current Oncology, 2022 Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary modality that is used to treat a variety of malignancies, using neutrons to irradiate boron-10 (10B) nuclei that have entered tumor cells to produce highly linear energy transfer (LET) alpha particles and ...
