The detector design and electronics system of a 3He semiconductor sandwich spectroscopy is reported in this paper.The thermal neutron test is conducted and neutron spectra in 0.1–1.3 MeV in the critical assembly are measured.The results indicate that data of 0.3–1.3 MeV neutrons are consistent with the 6Li spectroscopy.So the feasibility to measure leakage neutron spectra in the critical assembly using the 3He spectrometer is proved.
