AbstractAbstract
[en] A facility for testing the effectiveness of high energy neutrons for the treatment of malignant tumors has been constructed at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The first neutrons were produced by the bombardment of 66-MeV protons on a beryllium target in July, 1975. After physically characterizing the neutron beam and performing preliminary radiobiological experiments, patient treatment started in September, 1976. At the time of this writing, 52 patients had been treated. A description of this facility is given
