Description

The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) is currently the focus for a comprehensive program directed toward the development of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for certain types of refractory malignancies. One particular component of the INEL BNCT program involves a collaborative effort between the INEL and Georgia Institute of Technology to design an advanced epithermal- (neutrons in the energy range of 0.5 eV to 10 keV) neutron beam facility for BNCT research at the Georgia Tech research reactor (GTRR). The basic conceptual design and expected physics-related performance parameters for the GTRR epithermal-neutron beam are presented in this paper
