ROSPEC2 characterizes neutron fields with rotating detectors and computer-based spectral unfolding. It converts detector pulse-height spectra into a neutron spectrum and calculates dose-equivalent and kerma quantities, supporting work where a simple radiation alarm or cumulative dose reading is insufficient. BTI specifies coverage from thermal energies to 4.5 MeV, with optional SSS counters extending measurement to 16 MeV. Detectors can be removed from the assembly and connected by an eight-metre umbilical for measurements in confined spaces.

Use & integration
Recorded applications
Neutron-field and shielding characterization
Radiation-protection measurements requiring energy-dependent dose information
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Commercially described instrument with optional calibration services; the public specification does not establish a customer’s complete field uncertainty budget.
Commercial availability
Offered by BTI with standard and extended energy-range configurations; confirm counter selection and calibration requirements for the intended field.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
