Feasibility study of compact accelerator-based neutron generator for multi-port BNCT system

As Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) grows to become a good alternative for radio-resistant tumours, long preparation and irradiation time limit the number of treatments possible. To resolve this issue, this work aims to propose implementing a compact accelerator-based neutron generator which can provide multiple neutron beams of at least 10 9 /s/cm 2 for multi-port BNCT, while maintaining low gamma and fast-neutron contamination.
