Abstract

One drawback in widely using neutron capture therapy (NCT) is the limited number of appropriate neutron source facilities. At present neutron sources for clinical NCT are mainly research reactors. However most reactors are not in close proximity to hospitals and their use for clinical trials can be difficult. Other suggested sources include dedicated single-purpose reactors, accelerator-based neutron sources and 252Cf
