Holesovickach 2, CZ-18000 Prague 8, Czech Republic Design of the five detector set-up, suitable for positron 1-Dimensional Angular Correlation of Annihilation Radiation (1D-ACAR) study of 60Co-containing materials as well as test measurements are described in the article. The equipment is based on simultaneous registration of a starting positron (by detection of gamma-photon with energy 1274 keV) and its annihilation with an electron in the studied material (by detection of 2 annihilation gamma-photons with the energy of 511 keV emitted mainly at the 180º - angle). Through this triple coincidence the disturbing 60Co-contribution (gamma-photons with the energy of 1.17 and 1.33 MeV) can be effectively separated from the annihilation spectra of irradiated reactor pressure vessel steel specimens.
