Based Studies were carried out to analyze the internal dose of radiation for workers at Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) facility base on Cyclotron 30 MeV with BSA and a room that was actually designed before. This internal dose analyzation included interaction between neutrons and air. The air contained N2 (72%), O2 (20%), Ar (0.93%), CO2, Neon, Kripton, Xenon, Helium and Methane. That internal dose to the worker should be below the dose limit for radiation workers which is an amount of 20 mSv/years. From the particles that are present in the air, only Nitrogen and Argon can change into radioactive element. Nitrogen-14 activated to Carbon-14, Nitrogen-15 activated to Nitrogen-16, and Argon-40 activated to Argon-41. Calculation using tally facility in Monte Carlo N Particle version Extended (MCNPX) program for calculated Neutron flux in the air 3.16x107 Neutron/cm2s. The room design in the cancer facility has a measurement of 200 cm in length, 200 cm in width, and 166.40 cm in height. Neutron flux can be used to calculate the reaction rate which is 80.1x10-2 reaction/cm3s for carbon-14 and 8.75x10-5 reaction/cm3s. The internal dose exposed to the radiation worker is 9.08E-9 µSv.
