Abstract
For the past four decades the Department of Energy and its predecessor agencies, the Energy Research and Development Administration and the Atomic Energy Commission, have sustained a research program on Boron Neutron Capture Therapy. In recent years the Department's research program has expanded in response to the promise of several new boron localizing agents and the development of improved epithermal neutron beam delivery capabilities. Our plans for future activities encompass a number of specific areas for research emphasis.
