  The realization of promising photonuclear technologies (a soft technology for medical isotope production, radioactive waste handling, activation analysis, etc) calls for the sources of high-energy (Egamma>10MeV) and high-intensity (>=10E03W/cm2) photons. These sources may by obtained by converting a beam from a high-current electron Linac into bremsstrahlung. The method of combined activation of a set of foils that have different energy thresholds of the (gamma,n) reactions is proposed to determine the space-energy characteristics of such radiation. In each energy range the geometrical characteristics of the bremsstrahlung flux are reconstructed from the foil surface gamma-activity distribution. The last one is determined through one-dimensional scanning of the foils by a specially designed detecting head that includes a linear matrix of 16 collimated semiconductor detectors (CdZnTe; 2x2x2,mm). A preliminary analysis of the system geometry and applicability of the method was performed by computer simulation based on the PENELOPE software. A developed PC based measuring system with CAMAC interface is described.
