Abstract

Studies were carried out to design a collimator which results in epithermal neutron beam for in vivo experiment of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) at the Kartini Research Reactor by means of Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) codes. Reactor within 100 kW of thermal power was used as the neutron source. All materials used were varied in size, according to the value of mean free path for each material. MCNP simulations indicated that by using 6 cm thick of Natural Nickel as collimator wall, 65 cm thick of Al as moderator, 3 cm thick of Ni-60 as filter, 6 cm thick of Bi as γ-ray shielding, 3.5 cm thick of Li2CO3-polyethilene, with 2 cm aperture diameter. Epithermal neutron beam with maximum flux of 6.60 x 108n.cm-2.s-1 could be produced. The beam has minimum fast neutron and γ-ray components of, respectively, 1.82 x 10-13Gy.cm2.n-1 and 1.70 x 10-13 Gy.cm2.n-1, minimum thermal neutron per epithermal neutron ratio of 0.041, and maximum directionality of 2,12. It did not fully pass the IAEA’s criteria, since the epithermal neutron flux was below the recommended value, 1.0 x 109 n.cm-2.s-1. Nonetheless, it was still usable with epithermal neutron flux exceeding 5.0 x 108 n.cm-2.s-1. it is still feasible for BNCT in vivo experiment.

Abstract

Simulation using Monte Carlo code has been conducted to determine the distribution of absorbed dose to the breast brachytherapy with 131Cs and 103Pd radionuclide sources. Simulations performed on stage I breast cancer with cancer diameter is 2 cm. Sources of radionuclides simulated in the form of seed is modeled with CS-1 which is made by IsoRay 131Cs and seed ADVANTAGETM103Pd which is made by IsoAID, LLC. Seed was planted in breast cancer cells. Calculation of absorbed dose distribution was performed by varying the distance from the seed. Variations of the distance started from a radius of 0.3 cm to 2 cm with a range of 0.1 cm respectively. In this simulation will also be reviewed the value of absorbed dose for healthy cell like breast, sternum, and lung. The relation between the absorbed dose and the distance from the seed can be described in the form of power law. The results of the calculation show that the maximum absorbed dose is in the target site of the cancer cells (5.791 ± 0.002) Gy per 5 MBq of 131Cs and (2.755 ± 0.009) Gy per 5 MBq for 103Pd. The absorbed dose at sternum (1.514 ± 0.011) x 10-4 Gy per 5 MBq of 131Cs and (7.515 ± 0.633) x 10-7 Gy per 5 MBq for 103Pd. While the absorbed dose in the lungs is and (3.615 ± 0.082) x 10-5 Gy per 5 MBq for 131Cs and (3.972 ± 0.591) x 10-8 Gy per 5 MBq for 103Pd.

Abstract

BNCT is a new method in nuclear technology. The aim of BNCT application is to reduce human risk which used to kills cell targeting characteristic. The impact of using this technology should be considered before it is applied, among the effects of radiation on workers and the surrounding environment BNCT pilot plant. A research on modeling of BNCT pilot plant used a collimator for a 30 MeV cyclotron neutron sources which had been designed from the past research. Radiation shielding modeling for treatment room used MCNPX software. The radiation shielding was concrete baryte on each side that includes coated borated polyethylene 2 cm thick and it is featured with a sliding door with dimensions 220 × 87 × 200 cm coated with stainless steels 2 cm thick. Results obtained value equivalent dose rate of neutron and gamma of each 41.5 µSv.h-1 and 2.05 µSv.h-1. Effects of radiation received by workers in the form of deterministic effects did not have a significant are impact.
