A simulation on desired neutron flux for the boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) purpose by using Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNPX)

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a nuclear application to cure cancer by using the interaction between the boron compound and the slow (thermal and epithermal) neutron beam obtained from the neutron source. The previous feasibility study shows that the thermal column can generate higher therm...
