In this study, to understand the structural change of a borosilicate glass by a neutron irradiation in detail, the neutron irradiation test was carried out for 50 min in the Pn-2 of the Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR). The structural change of glass sample after the irradiation will be estimated in 2018FY. Before the irradiation test, the glass composition was selected to estimate a structural change accurately by Raman spectrometry and 2 kinds of Li free borosilicate glass for the irradiation test samples were prepared.

In the nuclear transmutation system such as ADS, the nuclear data validation of MA is required to reduce the uncertainty caused by the nuclear data of MA. This study aims to measure the reaction rates of Neptunium-237 (Np) and Americium-241 (Am) using the nuclear spallation neutron source in the KUCA for 3 hours. The observed distributions of pulse-height of Np and Am fission reactions were significantly different from the ones generally observed in critical and pulsed neutron source (PNS) experiments because of the influence of the -ray generated by the nuclear spallation reaction. On the other hand, the capture reaction rate of Np was measured in this experiment. The capture reaction rate of the critical experiment which was available to be measured the fission reaction rate of Np and Am was almost 8 times larger than that of this experiment. Consequently, reducing the influence of the generated by the nuclear spallation reaction and extending the duration of the irradiation to 24 or more hours would be necessary for detecting signals of fission reactions under the spallation neutron source.
