In-water neutron and gamma dose determination for a new Cf-252 brachytherapy source

In-water neutron and gamma dose determination for a new Cf-252 brachytherapy source

Recently, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) successfully encapsulated a new generation of medical grade Cf-252 sources having intensities and size comparable to that of the widely used high-dose-rate (HDR) Ir-192 brachytherapy sources. Advent of the new sources, therefore, marked a new era f...
