Abstract
The Monte Carlo simulation code, FLUKA version 2011.2c.5, has been used to estimate the in–phantom dosimetric parameters for use in BNCT studies. The in–phantom parameters of a typical Snyder head, which are necessary information prior to any clinical treatment, have been calculated with both FLUKA and MCNPX codes, which exhibit a promising agreement. The results confirm that FLUKA can be regarded as a good alternative for the MCNPX in BNCT dosimetry simulations.
