title: Portable spectroscopic neutron probe.
abstract: Bubble Technology Industries (BTI) has built a revolutionary portable neutron scintillation spectrometer, N-Probe, designed to be used by non-specialists for measurement of low-intensity neutron doses in the mixed field environments often found in nuclear utilities, fuel storage areas, fuel and waste processing operations and military applications. It is compatible with the current generation of BTI MICROSPEC analysers and shares the philosophy of spectral dosimetry with other BTI spectroscopic probes, where the dosimetric quantities are computed from the spectrum using appropriate fluence-dose conversion functions.
