Atomic and radiological crises can be caused by accidents, military activities, terrorist
assaults involving atomic installations, the explosion of nuclear devices, or the utilization of …

Using high-energy photon beams is one of the most practical methods in radiotherapy
treatment of cases in deep site located tumors. In such treatments, neutron contamination …

Neutron personal dosimetry is necessary for the monitoring of exposed workers, not only in
nuclear industry and related activities but also in the growing number of neutron producing …

Responses of a novel passive neutron area monitor, named CubBonner, were calculated.
The responses were estimated for sixty monoenergetic neutrons, from 10− 9 to 20 MeV, with …

Presently, neutron science applications have been increasing in different knowledge areas,
for that reason, it is important to improve the radiation protection protocols, in where the …

This work concerns neutron doses associated with the use of a Siemens Primus M5497
electron accelerator, which is operated in the photon mode at 15 MV. The conditions offer a …

This study was devoted to determining the unwanted dose due to scattered photons to the
out-of-field organs and subsequently estimate the risk of secondary cancers in the patients …

Radiotherapy, a mainstay cancer treatment for patients worldwide, utilizes medical linear
accelerators (linacs) with photon energies ranging from 4 MV to 25 MV. However, concerns …

Neutron contamination in radiation therapy is of concern in treatment with high-energy
photons (> 10 MV). With the development of new radiotherapy modalities such as spatially …

Neutron contamination as a source of out-of-field dose in radiotherapy is still of concern.
High-energy treatment photons have the potential to overcome the binding energy of …
