Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of three volumes of proceedings of the 23rd Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference (PBNC 2022) which was held by Chinese Nuclear Society. As one in the most important and influential conference series of nuclear science and technology, the 23rd PBNC was held in Beijing and Chengdu, China in 2022 with the theme “Nuclear Innovation for Zero-carbon Future”. For taking solid steps toward the goals of achieving peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, future-oriented nuclear energy should be developed in an innovative way for meeting global energy demands and coordinating the deployment mechanism. It brought together outstanding nuclear scientists and technical experts, senior industry executives, senior government officials and international energy organization leaders from all across the world. The proceedings highlight the latest scientific, technological and industrial advances in Nuclear Safety and Security, Operations and Maintenance, New Builds, Waste Management, Spent Fuel, Decommissioning, Supply Capability and Quality Management, Fuel Cycles, Digital Reactor and New Technology, Innovative Reactors and New Applications, Irradiation Effects, Public Acceptance and Education, Economics, Medical and Biological Applications, and also the student program that intends to raise students’ awareness in fully engaging in this career and keep them updated on the current situation and future trends. These proceedings are not only a good summary of the new developments in the field, but also a useful guideline for the researchers, engineers and graduate students. This is an open access book.

Download or read book Spectral Tailoring for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy written by Victor Alexander Nievaart and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first clinical trials on Boron Neutron Capture Therapy in the 1950s, BNCT research has been mainly focussed on the treatment of (deep-seated) brain tumours, in particular, glioblastoma multiforme. Promising work to treat other cancers at other locations and even other diseases are in progress. Therefore, the chemists, medical doctors, physicists and biologists involved in BNCT are not only continuing to investigate and improve the (brain) clinical results, but are also investigating the new applications in BNCT. The work presented in this thesis is in the field of physics and deals, from three different viewpoints, with obtaining the optimal source neutron energy to optimise BNCT. The optimal source neutron energy is defined such as to obtain as many as possible (n, a)-absorptions due to 10B in the tumours and as low as possible total neutron dose in the healthy tissues and organs at risk

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EDK- S[subscript N] method implements voxelized phantoms with discrete ordinates (S[subscript N]) transport computations coupled with directional influences and (pre-computed) full-physics Monte Carlo based electron absorbed dose kernels to yield total body absorbed dose information. This research shows that the deterministic techniques coupled with Monte Carlo based electron absorbed dose-kernels has significant potential for organ absorbed dose evaluation in the clinical management of radiation therapy patients.
