New thermal neutron irradiation facilities to perform cell and small-animal irradiations for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy research have been installed at the Missouri University Research Reactor and at the RA-3 research reactor facility in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Recognizing the importance of accurate and reproducible physical beam dosimetry as an essential tool for combination and intercomparisons of preclinical and clinical results from the different facilities, we have conducted an experimental intercalibration of the neutronic performance of the RA-3 and MURR thermal neutron sources.
用于硼中子俘获疗法研究的新型热中子辐照设施已安装在密苏里大学研究反应堆以及阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的RA - 3研究反应堆设施中，用于进行细胞和小动物辐照。认识到精确且可重复的物理束流剂量测定作为不同设施临床前和临床结果组合与相互比较的重要工具的重要性，我们对RA - 3和MURR热中子源的中子学性能进行了实验性相互校准。
