ITEP supports and evolves the national system of knowledge in the field of пuсlеаr science, engineering and technologies. ITEP possesses а unique experimentation frаmеwоrk, which is employed primarily to investigate the fundamental properties of matter and offers а broad rапgе of development capabilities to support the prime tasks of the nuclear industry. At present time, the Institute includes the following base facilities: 1. The ITEP-T\,N integrated acceleration and accumulation Гасi l ity. comprising: а proton ассеlеrаtоц U-10, fоr the energy 10 GеЧ а multipurpose hadron faciliц IТЕР-Т\,Ъ{, for ion acceleration and accumulation; а linear high-curtent proton ассеlеrаtоr for the energy 24 MeV; а medical facility for proton l therapy of МАШТ. center for nuclear-scale research in condensed-matter radiation physics and reactor material science. The proton-beam medical center set up at the ТVN faciliф, which uses radiobiological methods of thetapy for malignant tumors, is the second largest in the world in the volume of medical services provided. The МАКЕТ zero-power rеасtоц which is part of the heavy-water nuclear reactors depaftment, is used fоr physical and mathematical modeling of the production heavy-water rеасtоr соrе. It is also where work is continued to decommission the TVR heavy-water reactor. ITEP has taken part in many international experiments at the largest foreign colliders and SLAC, JNAF, Наdrоп Соllidец Large LHC GSI, SIS/ESR, - ассеlеrаtоrs (КЕК, TEVATRON, FAIR). ITEP is Russia's and worldwide leader in а пumьеr of research activities, including search for and research into the properties of dark material, neutrino oscillation experiments, search fоr neutrinoless double beta decay and neutrino magnetic moment.

МАКЕТ CRITICAL FACILITY (HEAVY WA TER ZERO-POWER REACTOR) The МАКЕТ heavy-water critical facility (CF) was put into operation in March 1977 (fust criticality was achieved on 30.12.1976). The МАКЕТ CF was built as а physical model of production reactor facilities and is intended for research on neutronic core parameters of the heavy-water reactor facilities in operation and under design.
