~ 1990: The first attempt was conducted by Dr. Marashi & Dr. Pazirandeh
2009- Continue: A new Project has been defined at NSTRI:
in 5 International Symposium on Neutron Capture Therapy (1992)
The results showed that the neutron flux at none of the beam exits is not sufficient

Conclusions
The designed beam has two major advantages:
We impose minimal changes in the thermal column structure
A sample or phantom can be irradiated outside of the thermal column
thermal neutron beam has been constructed based on the use of thermal column.
The arrangement of graphite blocks has been modified to provide a thermal neutron beam.
The final results have been shown that the thermal neutron flux at the beam port is 1.7E8 (n/cm2.s) at 1.5 MW which is appropriate for BNCT.
