A book/CD-ROM report describing nuclear data available for fast neutron and proton radiotherapy and for radiation protection. Neutron- induced nuclear reaction cross sections and kerma coefficients are presented up to 150 MeV, and proton-induced cross sections are presented up to 250 MeV. Nuclear cross sections are evaluated using a combination of measured data and nuclear model calculations. Describes the current state of knowledge of neutron and proton sources, with particular emphasis on beams at energies used in radiotherapy, discussing both thick-target and monoenergetic neutron sources. A description is also given of radiation fields in workplaces for radiation protection considerations. The CD-ROM contains cross section evaluations. Annotation c.
