Abstract
A pre-conceptual design of a Medical Therapy Reactor Facility to provide Neutron Capture Therapy to cancer patients is described. The facility configuration, neutronic, thermal hydraulic and safety issues are addressed in order to demonstrate that the concept is viable. Based on a preliminary study the cost of the MTR facility is estimated to be about $53.5 million. Estimated construction time is 3 to 5 years. 20 refs., 16 figs., 4 tabs.Keywords
