N2 - An overview of test beam facilities at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) is presented. Facility for generation of extracted beams of electrons was designed at BINP for testing of detector prototypes in HEP field. The electron beam energy is from 100 MeV to 3.5 GeV. Since 2011, the facility has been used successfully for testing various detector prototypes. On the base of VEPP{4M collider, it is possible to obtain gamma beams too. The energy scale and resolution of calorimeters can be calibrated using edges of Compton and bremsstrahlung spectra. A facility for boron{neutron capture therapy (BNCT) was upgraded to perform radiation tests with fast neutrons with the integral flux up to 1014 n/cm2. In 2022, the experiment on the study of the radiation hardness of optical fibers for the laser calibration system of electromagnetic calorimeter and the CMS detector was carried out. It has been demonstrated for the first time that at the BINP it is possible to operate with such doses. It could be further used for the wide range of radiation test tasks related with the development of facilities for HEP.
