Abstract
The aim of the project is to create a shielding for Boron Neuron Capture Therapy (BNCT) experiment at thermal colum channel of TRIGA MARK II PUSPATI nicler reactor BNCT traditionally involves injecting tumours with the non-radioactive boron-10 isotope captureagent that is then radiated with a beam of epithermal neutrons that interact with the capture agent to produce a biologically destructive nuclear caption reaction.
