Presentation Transcript

  1. Overview of the BNCT neutron beam line facility in NRI Rez (Prague) NRI = Nuclear research institute plc BNCT = boron neutron capture therapy Most pictures taken from presentation of J.Burian/NRI – Milano09

  2. Research Reactor LVR-15 (10MW) • 36% enriched U235 • Light water with forced cooling • Access allowed when reactor ON

  3. Experimental facilities using LVR-15

  4. Approximate maximum fluxes Material tests possible in the vertical irradiation channels Dedicated analysis labs available in NRI 2 Ge spectrometers and a portable one operated by NRI

  5. BNCT line with shutter Online epithermal/fast neutron flux monitoring performed with fission chambers (U235/238) inside the collimator

  6. Gamma component up to 0.5 Gy/h • Control room dose rate ~ 2 uSv/h • Beam diameter 12cm • Access possible to the irradiation room when reactor is ON (shutter opens ~5mins) • x-y Laser alignment available • Cable feed through 4-5cm only, possibility to pass around the door (2 Fip cables max) • Desk space limited • Non-Czech citizens need special permit • RP control possible outside of normal hours

  7. BNCT spectrum WITH the Li6 filtering Thermal neutrons We used 4cm polyethylene moderator (thermalization depth) WITHOUT Li6 filter Spectra to be received next week
