N2 - Radiation testing of perspective materials by fast neutron flux is an important task for large physical facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider or the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Such a source of fast neutrons is the accelerator based neutron source VITA, proposed, developed and actively used at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. VITA consists of an original vacuum-insulated tandem accelerator for generating a powerful dc proton/deuteron beam with an energy up to 2.3 MeV and a current up to 10 mA, a solid lithium target for neutron flux generation in the exothermic (non-threshold) reaction7Li(d,n) up to 2·1012 s-1 and a concentrator to focus the neutron flux in the direction of beam propagation. The paper describes the accelerator based neutron source VITA, its limitations and specifics related to the generation of a powerful fast neutron flux, the result of a long lasting experiment with fast neutron generation, further plans to increase the energy and current of the deuteron beam, to develop a compact fast neutron generator, and to increase the total fast neutron yield to 2·1013 s-1,.
