基于加速器的超热中子束的开发合作工作正在马萨诸塞州理工学院（剑桥，MA）和科学研究实验室（Science Research Laboratory，Inc.）之间进行，马萨诸塞州萨默维尔。加速器的主要硬件部件是一个4毫安串联静电装置，于一年前的1991年7月开始设计。这台机器的完成预计还需要大约一年的时间。SRL建造了一个低电流原型加速器（最大电流1 mA），目前正用于对减速器/反射器超热束线组件进行实验测试。本文概述了迄今为止（1992年9月）所取得的进展，朝着一个临床上有用的基于加速器的超热中子束的目标。
Collaborative work on the development of an accelerator-based epithermal neutron beam is underway between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA and Science Research Laboratory, Inc., Somerville, MA. Design of the major hardware components of the accelerator, a 4 mA tandem electrostatic device, commenced one year ago in July 1991. Completion of this machine is expected to require approximately one more year. A low-current prototype accelerator (maximum current 1 mA) has been constructed by SRL and is being used to carry out experimental testing of a moderator/reflector epithermal beam-line assembly. This paper provides an overview of the progress made to date (September 1992) toward the goal of a clinically-useful accelerator-based epithermal neutron beam.
