The microspheres from Świerk help patients with liver cancer

Pojemniki typu MARIA zostały wymyślone w ramach współpracy NCBJ z niderlandzką firmą medyczną Quirem do napromieniania w reaktorze mikrosfer zawierających holm (165 -> 166). Dzięki swemu kształtowi pojemniki zapewniają dobre chłodzenie materiału co pozwala na napromieniowywanie mikrosfer neutronami bez ryzyka sklejenia ich lub zdeformowania.
The MARIA reactor is one of the main irradiation centres for microspheres containing radioactive holmium, which are used in the treatment of liver tumors. The technology developed at NCBJ at the request of Quirem Medical - a global manufacturer of QuiremSpheres therapeutical microspheres - serves patients in several specialized centres in Europe. ----
