Homogeneity of neutron fluxes during irradiation experiments done in Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University, was evaluated using J-values collected in 40Ar/39Ar age determinations. The laser fusion results of approximately 0.3 mm-size individual mineral grains (Hb3gr hornblendes) indicate insignificant change in J-values both in horizontal and vertical directions within a size of the cylindrical sample holder (φ16×18). The reactor seems to have a relatively uniform fast neutron density distribution within the dimensions for 40Ar/39Ar dating. Correction factors obtained from potassium and calcium salts were also reviewed. The J-values of Hb3gr have minor effects from these factors because of little contribution of the interfering isotopes.
