Neutronics design optimizes neutron source for boron neutron capture therapy, suggesting effective treatment potential.

The system can deliver an epi-thermal neutron flux of ~8 × 10^8 n/s/cm2, ensuring high treatment efficiency.
Whole-body dose is substantially suppressed to ~0.26 Sv/irradiation, highlighting safety improvement in therapy.
Mock-up experiments validated the neutronics design code system with a prototype beam shaping assembly.
The final design completes required specifications for the p-Li-based neutron source system at Osaka University.

Murata et al. (2025) studied this question.
