For determining fast neutron radiative capture cross sections a new capture gammaray counter of approximately 4π geometry has been developed. The counter is in a sphere shape with a diameter of 1 meter filled with 680 liter liquid scintillator. The tank in shielded by 10 cm thickness of lead and 40 cm thickness of Li-paraffin. A coincidence method is used for reducing background due to neutron capture by the hydrogen in the liquid scintillator. The counter has been successfully used for measuring the neutron capture cross sections of Au-197

Ta-181 and Tm-169 on a 2.5 MeV pulsed Van de Graaff accelerator.
