Effectiveness of epithermal neutron beam and gamma radiation shielding for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The biological effects of different boron compounds in the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) research are usually tested on small animals. In the case of LVR-15 research reactor (Rez, Czech Republic), the biological effect is studied on 6-days old sewer rats. Regrettably, delivered to very short time after the end of irradiation, probably as a result of high radiation dose which was received by a whole body. Therefore, special protective casks were designed to reduce unnecessary radiation (mainly from gamma and neutrons). These protective cylinders preserve the body of a rat while leaving its head unshielded. Two construction materials were considered ? boron (in the form of boron carbide) and cadmium. This work is aimed at finding the more suitablematerial by measuring the radiation dose due to each individual component. The efficiency of the neutron and gamma shielding was measured by activation foils and thermo luminescent detectors respectively. As a result, boron carbide was f
