contents In this work, we investigated the effect of ${\rm^{15}N(p,α)^{12}C}$ reaction produced by the collision between proton and ammonia monohydrate on the kinetic energy release (KER) of water molecule fragmentation. After the occurrence of the nuclear reaction, it was found that the charge states $q$ and the flight speeds $v$ are the main factors affecting the KER of water molecule fragmentation. With the value of $q/v$ increases, the KER distribution gets wider and the peak position changes more pronounced. The energy gained by each fragment is related to the mass of the fragment and the distance of the fragment from the nuclear reaction. In this study, the fragments with smaller masses and the distances far away from the nuclear reaction get higher energies. The fragments of water molecules getting higher energy may induce other factors affecting the radiotherapy effect, which needs more detailed investigations in the future.
