This article neutron capture therapy of cancer has only one paragraph that isn't about BORON-based neutron capture therapy (NCT) (this paragraph is about gadolinium-based NCT). This article is far more detailed about the boron-based NCT than is the dedicated boron neutron capture therapy article. So we have an overlap, but in the wrong direction, as the general article is a far better and longer review of BNCT than is boron neutron capture therapy.
Possibilities are:
Note that the "of cancer" part of this article is superfluous since NCT (whether with B or Gd as target) is only used for cancer. But I don't think that's enough reason to rename this article by shortening it, unless it is to be renamed anyway.
If I don't hear from other editors in a week I'll just be WP:BOLD and do option #1. S B H arris 18:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
And have proposed that the other be deleted (PROD) and redirected to this article. That fixes the problem. S B H arris 22:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
According to the " Isotopes of boron" wiki article (and other sources), both Boron-10 and Boron-11 are stable isotopes. Boron-12, however, is known to decay to (stable) Carbon-12 through beta emission and sometimes (<2%) to 3 alpha particles and a beta particle.
The Boron-11 decay to (stable) Lithium-7 and an alpha particle can only be explained if Boron-11 was in an excited state. This article should reference sources that document this decay mode. -- OhioFred ( talk) 16:44, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
I have changed all instances of "fission" to "decay"...but I am no nuclear physicist... am I wrong? Is B-10 + n actually fission???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.83.161.177 ( talk) 16:56, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
