The purpose of the project is to review, analyze and test the conditions (infrastructure, methods and equipment) for neutron beam oncotherapy based on the existing EGP-10K tandem generator of the Institute of Nuclear Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Research methods – analysis of the existing literature on boron-neutron capture therapy and assessment of the capabilities of the EHP-10K IIA tandem accelerator to create a flow of epithermal neutrons and existing methods of recording ionizing radiation. A review of the literature and the current state of boron neutron capture oncotherapy was conducted. The possibility of obtaining streams of epithermal neutrons using the reactions 7Li(p,n)7Be, 9Be (p, n) 9B, 2Н(2Н,n) 3Не was considered The capabilities of the EGP-10K accelerator, which accelerates protons and deuterons in the acceleration energy range of 1.5 – 5.0 MeV with a precise selection of the desired selected energy of the ejected particles, were evaluated. The infrastructure of the accelerator complex includes all the necessary technological premises, most importantly - boxes for the extraction of the beam with certified biological protection, as well as a number of rooms for the accommodation of medical personnel and possible patients. The conditions, requirements and results of preparatory measurements of neutron-generating nuclear reactions and multidimensional registration systems are considered Product Description popup.authors Gorpinich Olga Dovzhenko Mykhailo I.
