This method of treatment is effective against several currently incurable radioresistant tumors, such as brain glioblastoma and melanoma metastases. The neutron source includes a new type of accelerator: accelerator-tandem with vacuum insulation, lithium neutron generating target and neutron beam shaping assembly. Current accelerator produces a stationary 5 mA proton beam with 2 MeV energy, but this is not sufficient for therapy on humans. For conducting the experiment on humans it is necessary to create a new power rack for the ion source. The report summarizes results of the development and implementation of new power rack, with remote control and data collection systems, to reach 15 mA beam current. This system will increase the proton beam current and, as a result, the neutron yield, that is needed to heal people.
