Present status of Accelerator-Based BNCT.

Aim: This work aims at giving an updated report of the worldwide status of Accelerator-Based BNCT (AB-BNCT).

Background: There is a generalized perception that the availability of accelerators installed in hospitals, as neutron sources, may be crucial for the advancement of BNCT. Accordingly, in recent years a significant effort has started to develop such machines.

Present status of accelerator-based BNCT: Focus on developments in Argentina.

In this work we provide some information on the present status of accelerator-based BNCT (AB-BNCT) worldwide and subsequently concentrate on the recent accelerator technology developments in Argentina.
