Study on Remodeling the Heavy Water Facility of the Kyoto University Reactor for Neutron Capture Therapy from the Concept of Neutron Energy Spectrum Control

摘要: In August 1988, there was heavy water leakage from the thermocouple guide pipe of tank adjacent to core Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR). The need for a fundamental reexamination Heavy Water Thermal Neutron Facility (HWTNF) has been recognized since repaired. Clinical irradiation restarted in February 1990, and as September 1, 1992, 24 clinical treatments had carried out. Some improvements treatment have requested by clinicians other users, especially ability use facility while reactor is continuous operation.
