We discuss the effects of neutron and -ray irradiation on electrical transport of single-crystalline boron nanobelts toward a nano-scale radiation sensor device. Changes of electrical conductance of individual nanobelt before and after thermal neutron irradiation with low (10

s
) or high (3

cm
s
) flux are presented.

Isotopic B atom has large thermal neutron capture cross section.
Li atom and
particle as a product of the neutron reaction can change the electrical transport property of the boron-rich semiconductor because they provide carrier doping and lattice defects. We successfully synthesized catalyst-free single-crystalline boron nanobelts (BNBs) and clarified the electrical transport and photoconduction mechanism of individual nanobelt. The BNB device is promising candidates for solid-state neutron sensors with both high resolution and good discrimination performance between neutron and
-ray. In the presentation, we discuss the performance of thermal neutron detection of BNB devices. Isotopic
B enriched BNBs was synthesized to detect thermal neutrons efficiently. Electrical conductance of a nanobelt increased to eight times after the thermal neutron irradiation with a dose of 1.8
