Neutron beams implemented at nuclear research reactors for BNCT

A: This paper presents a survey of neutron beams which were or are in use at 56 Nuclear Research Reactors (NRRs) in order to be used for BNCT, either for treatment or research purposes in aspects of various combinations of materials that were used in their Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) design, use of fission converters and optimized beam parameters. All our knowledge about BNCT is indebted to researches that have been done in NRRs. The results of about 60 years research in BNCT and also the successes of this method in medical treatment of tumors show that, for the development of BNCT as a routine cancer therapy method, hospital-based neutron sources are needed. Achieving a physical data collection on BNCT neutron beams based on NRRs will be helpful for beam designers in developing a non-reactor based neutron beam.

“…Marashi (from NSTRI) initiated BNCT research in Iran in 1990s. Their research was about the use of a beam tube of Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) to produce a proper neutron beam for BNCT [109,116,117]. The results showed that the final neutron flux was not sufficient for BNCT.…”
