Abstract: The Finnish boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) facility at the FiR 1 nuclear research reactor in Espoo, Otaniemi is ready for patient trials. The performance of the epithermal neutron beam has been verified in an extensive dosimetric campaign. The Finnish beam has the best therapeutic characteristics among the existing BNCT facilities. The reactor building has been converted into a BNCT research and treatment facility. A patient positioning and fixation system has been designed and constructed.
