During production of radiopharmaceuticals, the radiation situation in cyclotron pit is an important parameter, which is being monitored to ensure fulfilment of the limits and conditions of safe operation. The neutron flux in the structural components of the accelerator is also an important parameter, because the secondary neutrons are responsible for activation of cyclotron structural components and may even affect structural changes in it. This paper aims to characterize the neutron field in inner positions of medical accelerator IBA 18/9 by activation detectors and by means of scintillation spectrometry. The backward angle measurement was realized also in special liquid water target (H218O) at U120M cyclotron to confirm the data obtained in IBA 18/9 cyclotron.
