Use of the WWR-SM reactor for developing neutron-capture therapy in Uzbekistan

A reconstruction of the horizontal channel of the WWR-SM research nuclear reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Academy of Sciences of Republic of Uzbekistan, is necessary to develop the method of neutron-capture therapy of human cancer. To perform such a reconstruction, the neutron flux is measured at the channel input and the neutron transport through various filter materials forming an epithermal neutron beam at the output is calculated.
