 ROSPEC is a user friendly, unique rotating neutron spectrometer designed specifically for the spectral measurement
of degraded fission neutrons, which may be encountered in nuclear power and fuel processing plants, weapons-related
military facilities and accelerator laboratories. Introduced in 1992, ROSPEC has a proven operational record with a
program of continued performance upgrades.
ROSPEC is intended for use by non-specialists for the characterization of neutron fields that
pose a health threat. It will generate very accurate spectral and dosimetric data simply and routinely in minutes or
hours, in contrast to previous methods that could take weeks or months of a specialist’s time.
Data analysis is via a notebook computer, with on-line display of individual or all counter pulse
height distributions, and an unfolding program for generation of neutron spectra. Kerma, maximum dose equivalent and
ambient dose equivalent H*(10) and dose rate are calculated, and data storage is to hard disk. The rotating platform
carries all detectors and electronics. Individual counters are removable for use in confined spaces (one 8 meter
umbilical cable is supplied).
