The neutron powder-diffraction data of the apatite-type La-silicate La9.50Si6O26.25, was measured using JAEA-HRPD diffractometer at 10K. The Rietveld refinement on the basis of hexagonal P6(3)/m was successfully carried out with anisotropic thermal displacement parameters for all sites. The obtained cell parameters were a=0.971297(7)nm, and c=0.717950(6)nm. On the Rietveld refinement supported by maximum entropy method, the interstitial oxygen positions show randomly distribution around La2 site, and they may give the driving-force of high ionic conductivity to the main ionic conduction site O4.
