This work describes an updated version of a beta spectrometer that measures pure beta emitter activities. The detection system consists of a plastic scintillator surrounded in a air geometry by large anticoincidence NaI(Tl) scintillators. A thin silicon detector, inserted between the plastic and the sample, helps to reduce the gamma background. A Monte Carlo code, used to calculate the quite complex spectrometer response function to any isotope, is also described. 10 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
