A portable, light-weight long counter (LC) with small dimensions was developed. This LC consists of a He-3 thermal neutron counter, a cylindrical moderator and outer shields. It was designed to have an almost flat response in a neutron energy range of 0.4 eV to 5 MeV. The portable LC has a radius of 11 cm and a length of 39 cm. Its weight was successfully reduced to 15 kg. Polystyrene was employed instead of polyethylene for the front part of the moderator in order to increase the sensitivity to low-energy neutrons. The response function calculated using the MCNP code was consistent with the results of experiments using monoenergetic neutron calibration fields.
