  In NSC KIPT, Kharkov, Ukraine the state of art nu­clear fa­cil­ity Neu­tron Source on the base of sub­crit­i­cal as­sem­bly dri­ven with 100 MeV/100 kW elec­tron lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor has been build. The elec­tron beam gen­er­ates neu­trons dur­ing bom­bard­ing the tung­sten or ura­nium tar­get. The sub­crit­i­cal as­sem­bly of low en­rich­ment ura­nium is used to mul­ti­ply the ini­tial neu­trons due to fis­sion of the ura­nium nu­clei. The fa­cil­ity is the first world fa­cil­ity of such kind. It is sup­posed that max­i­mal value of mul­ti­ply­ing neu­tron fac­tor in the source will be equal to 0.95. So, the neu­tron flux will be in­creased as much as 50 times. Be­cause of sub-crit­i­cal­ity the fa­cil­ity elim­i­nates the pos­si­bil­ity to pro­duce the self-sus­tained chain re­ac­tion. Now the Neu­tron source is under com­mis­sion­ing. In the re­port the fa­cil­ity and its con­trol sys­tem cur­rent sta­tus is pre­sented.
