A new TEPC for BNCT: microdosimetric measurements at the thermal column of the TAPIRO reactor
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a rather innovative cancer radiotherapy; at present it is object of increasing interest especially for treatment of those tumors where conventional therapy gives not satisfactory results (Glioblastoma and Malignant Melanoma). The therapy takes advantage of both chemical and physical aspects B: the possibility of selectively accumulating in tumor tissue th...
متن کاملDNA replication and repair in human cells exposed to thermal neutrons.
Thermal neutrons/DNA replication/DNA repair The degree of inhibition of DNA replication and the level of DNA repair synthesis induced by thermal neutron irradiation was determined in human lymphoblastoid cell lines. Dose response experiments revealed that, when compared with equivalent doses of 60Co-ƒÁ-irradia tion, thermal neutrons gave rise to similar levels of inhibition of DNA replication b...
متن کاملActivation Measurements for Thermal Neutrons
The neutron energy spectrum from the atomic bomb consisted of a range of energies from thermal to fast neutrons. Fast neutrons contribute a larger dose to the human body than lowenergy neutrons per unit flux. The evaluation of the fast neutron component has been performed based on analyses of P (>3 MeV) activity measured immediately after the Hiroshima bomb and Ni (>2 MeV), which has a much lon...
متن کاملMicrofabrication of a gadolinium-derived solid-state sensor for thermal neutrons
Neutron sensing is critical in civilian and military applications. Conventional neutron sensors are limited by size, weight, cost, portability and helium supply. Here the microfabrication of gadolinium (Gd) conversion material-based heterojunction diodes for detecting thermal neutrons using electrical signals produced by internal conversion electrons (ICEs) is described. Films with negligible s...
متن کاملEffects of thermal neutrons on living cells. 1. Lethal effects of thermal neutrons on amoebae.
Lethal effects of thermal neutrons were compared with those of 60Co-ƒÁ-rays on the two types of Amoeba proteus. D37 doses against ƒÁ-rays were 2.5 •~ 105 (M-type) and 7.2 •~ 105 rads (P type), and those for thermal neutrons were 9.1 and 11.7 •~ 1013 n. cm-2 (total flux) respectively. Additions of AET, D2O or boron failed to increase or decrease the lethal effects of thermal neutrons. The lethal...
