Abstract
A method is described for the 3D measurements of absorbed dose in a ferrous
sulphate gel phantom, exposed in the thermal column of a nuclear reactor.
The method, studied for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) purposes, allo
ws absorbed dose imaging and profiling, with the separation of different co
ntributions coming from different secondary radiations, generated from ther
mal neutrons. In fact, the biological effectiveness of the different radiat
ions is different. Tests with conventional dosimeters were performed too. (
