  • Abstract
    A spherical neutron counter for spectroscopy and dosimetry has been developed. The counter consists of a spherical polyethylene moderator and three slender 3He position-sensitive proportional counters. Rough measurements of neutron fluence spectra and ambient dose equivalents, H*(10), have been done in the moderated-neutron field of JAERI. Characteristics of the counter are examined and compared with those of a Bonner sphere neutron spectrometer
