Abstract
A source of epithermal neutrons based on a tandem accelerator with vacuum insulation and a lithium neutron producing target was proposed and created to develop boron neutron capture therapy of malignant tumors. A laboratory was created in 2014 to be prepared for practical implementation of the therapy using the accelerator neutron source. To achieve this goal it is necessary to increase the current and the energy of the proton beam, to create a new neutron producing target, neutron beam shaping assembly and so on. The article provides a description of the created source of epithermal neutrons, presents and discusses the results of experiments and declares future plans.
