Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biological effects in black mouse by neutron irradiation at HANARO reactor in KAERI. Neutrons readily penetrate the charged field of an atomic nucleus because they are electrically neural. And so it can fight cancer with the radiation released when an atom of the element boron absorbs a neutron. The main patient in BNCT facility is brain cancer and sometimes skin cancer in foreign countries until now. Therefore, mice were laid flat and so irradiated at the direction of the front. (omitted)
