The purpose of this work was to improve the neutron fluence and dose rate measuring capabilities of the Bonner sphere/LiI neutron spectrometer used at the South Texas Nuclear Energy Generating Station (STPEGS). This paper describes the creation of a Bonner sphere response matrix customized for the STPEGS detector system and compares this matrix to previously published matrices.
