Neutron-capture therapy is a promising method in the treatment of
severe forms of cancer. To implement it, it is required to create a specialized medical reactor facility, the purpose of which is to form a neutron beam to irradiate the patient. To this end, multipurpose research reactors can also be used, but a specialized installation has several advantages over them: achieving the required technical parameters, location directly in the clinic, limiting reactor failures and hence greater reliability. The disadvantages include the high cost of such installations.
