Abstract
Normally, gamma-ray spectroscopy is performed by equipment positioned in the SLOWPOKE-2 Facility at the Royal Military College; however, the re have occasionally been requirements for analyses externally. A tran sportable gamma spectroscopy system was thus assembled by acquiring a commercially available multichannel analyzer, analysis program and det ector, and by designing and constructing a transportable shielding cas tle. It was then used to take measurements of fission product concentr ations at several research reactors.
