摘要：
The design, construction and testing of a thick lithium target for BNCT is discussed. Calculations showed that, with 2.8 MeV protons, a copper-backed lithium target I mm thick could run up to 1.6mA before melting. Tests up to 1.2mA show a linear neutron yield versus current relationship. The target performed satisfactorily over extended times, making it suitable for BNCT patient irradiation. The interpretation and importance of some of the observations made of the target surface appearance and behaviour remain to be clarified.
