The paper presents a review of the current state of development of accelerator-based epithermal neutron sources for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a promising method for the treatment of malignant tumors. Special attention is paid to an epithermal neutron source based on a new type of accelerator of charged particles: a tandem accelerator with vacuum insulation and a lithium neutron-producing target.
