Abstract: The review is devoted to the current state of affairs and prospects for development in the field of neutron reflectometry on the existing and future neutron sources in the Russian Federation. Due to the commissioning of new instruments at the IR-8 and PIK reactors, the number of neutron reflectometers in the Russian Federation should double. As a result, there must arise a set of instruments aimed at solving various problems in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology of layered systems in the interests of the scientific community and to train experts for further development and improvement of this technique.
