A calorimeter has been built whereby the amounts of power dissipated in each of three units are made equal. The power due to the interaction of a unit with gammas, and that due to interaction with neutrons, is determined from the electric power supplied to each unit and known parameters of the system. Three units composed of two materials are necessary and sufficient for this type of measurement.
