The principles of linear accelerator are: the accelerator emits two types of radiation that are photon and electron. However, when we were doing the research and working on it, we have found that neutrons have emitted from the accelerator.

This paper aims to show some results of measuring neutrons from a linear accelerator at Dong Nai General Hospital. The results of this experiment will be used to ensure the safety of radiation as well as the background for the incoming research.
