Abstract
The application of the cytotoxic 10B neutron-capture reaction [10B(n,α)7Li] to the treatment of human tumors has received much attention in recent years. The interaction of boron-10 isotope and thermal neutron produces an α-particle and recoils a lithium-7 ion bearing approximately 2,4 MeV (Eq. 1).
