Summary:In this work we present Polish achievements on the ground of BNCT research. Starting from preliminary built therapeutic stand at MARIA reactor going through designing of unique detectors for in-phantom and in-beam measurements for mixed radiation fields and finally coming to boron carriers synthesizing and examination in cellular and animal models. Now it is planned to restart research on boron compounds in specially designed BIMA line, to set up epithermal neutron irradiation facility for BNCT research and education and to improve recombination detectors for neutron beams characterisation. •Recent Polish BNCT program is presented – therapeutic BNCT stand.•Fission converter construction.•BIMA line – irradiation of living cells.•Recombination chambers for BNCT dosimetry.•Reactivation of Polish BNCT program – research-training BNCT station.
