To patient activation in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), we are taking a certain cooling period before a health care worker approaches after the end of irradiation. Wittig et al to measure the activation of patients after neutron irradiation in Petten reactor. To review the results, we report the performed Monte Carlo simulations.
