Design and burn-up analyses of new type holder for silicon neutron transmutation doping

• We developed and fabricated a new silicon irradiation holder with a neutron filter at the JRR-3.
• Design analyses of the irradiation holder were investigated by using the Monte Carlo code (MVP code).
• We investigated the influence of 10B reduction in the filter on doping distribution under long-term use by the MVP code.

We have developed a new silicon irradiation holder with a neutron filter to increase the irradiation efficiency. The neutron filter is made of an alloy of aluminum and B4C particles. We fabricated a new holder based on the results of design analyses. This filter has limited use in applications requiring prolonged use due to a decrease in the amount of 10B in B4C particles. We investigated the influence of 10B reduction on doping distribution in a silicon ingot by using the Monte Carlo Code MVP.
