The irradiation field employed in BNCT is a high intensity with a wide energy range, and undesired neutrons can be irradiated to a patient's body during the treatment. In terms of the radiation protection, we developed the system for dose evaluation using real-time neutron detectors. In this presentation, we propose a method of dose evaluation and results of the developed detectors performance tests.
