ne of Fermilab�s first employees, Don Young, helped plan and build the Neutron Therapy Facility. When he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October 2000, he chose neutron therapy over surgery. �Knowing and understanding the neutron treatment method, the facility at Fermilab, the people here and the number of patients they�ve treated, it was an easy decision to make,� he said.
