京都大学研究反应堆(KUR)的重水热中子设施于1996年3月完全更新，主要用于中子俘获治疗。铝-重水混合物(Al/D2O=80/20vol%)的超热中子慢化器、重水的中子能谱移位器以及镉和波拉尔板的热中子过滤器的使用改善了作为中子辐照装置的性能。采用屏蔽门和照射室组成的辐射屏蔽系统和患者的远程携带系统，实现了全功率(5 MW)连续KUR操作下的临床照射利用。由于安装了安全监测系统，提高了设施的安全性和实用性。
The Heavy Water Thermal Neutron Facility of the Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR) was wholly updated in March 1996 mainly for neutron capture therapy. The performance as a neutron irradiation facility was improved using the epithermal neutron moderator of the aluminum-heavy water mixture (Al/D2O = 80/20 vol%), the neutron energy spectrum shifter of heavy water, and the thermal neutron filters of cadmium and boral plates. The clinical irradiation utilization under the full-power (5-MW) continuous KUR operation was realized employing both the radiation shielding system, consisting of the shielding door and irradiation room, and the remote carrying system for a patient. The safety and utility of the facility were improved due to the safety observation system.
