Scientists from Nuclear Physics Institute have developed a device, able to destroy cancer cells without damaging healthy tissues of human organism.
      
      Said device is a portable neutron accelerator, which requires ordinary socket for its energy needs. Scientists suggest using so-called chemical trap for destroying tumors – injured organ receives boron containing solution, which cancer cells tend to absorb 3-4 times more than healthy cells. Then the patient is exposed to neutrons, which destroy particular cells, saturated with boron isotopes.
      
      Described device and technique require clinial trials, after which they will be available to patients.
