  RESOLVED RESONANCE PARAMETERS FOR MLBW FORMULA (BELOW 13.226KEV)
    RESONANCE PARAMETERS WERE TAKEN FROM JENDL-2/3/ AND SLIGHTLY  
    MODIFIED.                                                     
      IN THE EVALUATION FOR JENDL-2, NEUTRON WIDTHS WERE EVALUATED
    ON THE BASIS OF WYNCHANK ET AL./4/, MORGENSTERN ET AL./5/ AND 
    TAYLOR ET AL./6/ RADIATION WIDTHS WERE DETERMINED FROM CAPTURE
    AREAS MEASURED BY TAYLOR ET AL.  FOR THE LEVELS WHOSE CAPTURE 
    ARIA WAS ONLY THE EXISTING DATA, THEIR NEUTRON WIDTHS WERE    
    DEDUCED BY ASSUMING THE AVERAGE RADIATION WIDTH OF 0.084+-    
    0.024 EV.  SCATTERING RADIUS OF 4.9 FM WAS ADOPTED FROM       
    MUGHABGHAB ET AT./7/                                          
      FOR JENDL-3, PARAMETERS OF A NEGATIVE RESONANCE WERE        
    MODIFIED SO AS TO REPRODUCE THE CAPTURE CROSS SECTION OF      
    11.5+-0.3 BARNS AT 0.0253 EV/7/ AND THE TOTAL CROSS SECTION   
    MEASURED BY ZIMMERMAN ET AL./8/ AND HICKMAN/9/.  TOTAL SPIN J 
    OF SOME RESONANCES WAS TENTATIVELY ESTIMATED WITH A RANDOM    
    NUMBER METHOD.                                                
      FOR JENDL-3.2, THESE RESONANCE PARAMETERS WERE MODIFIED SO  
    AS TO REPRODUCE THE CAPTURE AREA DATA MEASURED AT ORNL, BY    
    TAKING ACCOUNT OF THE CORRECTION FACTOR OF 1.0737 ANNOUNCED BY
    ALLEN ET AL./10/.                                             
                                                                  
  UNRESOLVED RESONANCE REGION : 13.226 KEV - 100 KEV              
    THE NEUTRON STRENGTH FUNCTION S0 WAS BASED ON THE COMPILATION 
    OF MUGHABGHAB ET AL., AND S1 AND S2 WERE CALCULATED WITH      
    OPTICAL MODEL CODE CASTHY/11/.  THE OBSERVED LEVEL SPACING WAS
    DETERMINED TO REPRODUCE THE CAPTURE CROSS SECTION CALCULATED  
    WITH CASTHY.  THE EFFECTIVE SCATTERING RADIUS WAS OBTAINED    
    FROM FITTING TO THE CALCULATED TOTAL CROSS SECTION AT 100 KEV.

  WITH PEGASUS/12/ STANDING ON A PREEQUILIBRIUM AND MULTI-STEP    
  EVAPORATION MODEL.  THE OMP'S FOR NEUTRON GIVEN IN TABLE 1 WERE

 SPIN CUTOFF PARAMETERS WERE CALCULATED AS 0.146*SQRT(A)*A**(2/3).
 IN THE CASTHY CALCULATION, SPIN CUTOFF FACTORS AT 0 MEV WERE     
 ASSUMED TO BE 5.937 FOR PR-141 AND 5.267 FOR PR-142.
