Abstract: Provided is a neutron shielding material having good light transparency and excellent shielding performance against thermal neutron rays, and a method for producing the same. A neutron shielding material according to the present invention includes a light transmitting material and a boron compound enriched in a boron isotope having a mass number of 10, the neutron shielding material being formed of a molded product having light transparency. Shielding performance against thermal neutron rays is improved by containing a boron compound enriched in a boron isotope having a mass number of 10. As a result, the neutron shielding material can be widely applied to members requiring visibility and neutron blocking properties.

Abstract: A neutron capture therapy system includes a therapy table on which an irradiation target is placed, a neutron beam irradiation unit which irradiates the irradiation target placed on the therapy table with a neutron beam, a position measurement unit which measures a position of the irradiation target placed on the therapy table, and a radiation dose distribution output unit which outputs a radiation dose distribution of a neutron beam used for irradiating the irradiation target, based on an amount of positional misalignment of the position of the irradiation target measured by the position measurement unit.

Abstract: A neutron capture therapy system includes a neutron beam irradiation unit that applies neutron beams, a treatment table on which an irradiation object irradiated with the neutron beams is mounted, a storage unit that stores distribution data indicating a distribution of hydrogen atoms or nitrogen atoms of a part to be irradiated of the irradiation object, a gamma ray detection unit that detects gamma rays generated from the irradiation object due to irradiation with the neutron beams, and a neutron flux distribution calculation unit that calculates a distribution of neutron flux in the irradiation object on the basis of the distribution data stored in the storage unit and gamma ray distribution data detected by the gamma ray detection unit.

Abstract: A neutron capture therapy system includes a neutron ray generating unit, an irradiated body placing unit on which a patient (irradiated body) is placed, and a gamma ray detecting unit that detects gamma rays emitted from the patient (irradiated body). The gamma ray detecting unit includes an emission part that emits light or electrons as the gamma rays are incident thereon, an amplification part that amplifies and outputs the light or the electrons emitted from the emission part, a first neutron ray shielding part formed of a substance containing 6-lithium, and a second neutron ray shielding part formed of a light element. The first neutron ray shielding part is provided so as to cover at least a surface opposite to an adjacent surface adjacent to the amplification part, among surfaces of the emission part.
