Dosimetry in fast-neutron therapy by automatic readout of CR-39

Determination of fast neutron RBE using a fully mechanistic computational model

“…Since then, this interest has spread to other fields. Fast neutron beams have been used for cancer therapy at various facilities around the world [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. In addition, this problem is of interest for radiation risk assessment for nuclear power plant workers as well as for astronauts during long manned space missions [17,18,19,20].…”
