The parameters and current status of development of the highest-power neutron source of the PIK research reactor (Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute named by B.P. Konstantinov of National Research Centre "Kurchatov Institute" (NRC "Kurchatov Institute"–PNPI), Gatchina) are described. The results of the first experiments on the obtained neutron beams are reported, which were performed at bringing the PIK reactor to the power mode of operation. The PIK research reactor complex, running at its full design capacities, will determine the strategy of development of neutron studies in the Russian Federation for several decades and will become the basis for the International Center for Neutron Studies.
