HISTORY
82-03 EVALUATION FOR JENDL-2 WAS MADE BY Y.KIKUCHI (JAERI) /1/.
88-03 RE-EVALUATION FOR JENDL-3 WAS MADE BY T.NAKAGAWA (JAERI)
/2/.
MF=1 GENERAL INFORMATION
MT=451 COMMENT AND DICTIONARY
MT=452 NUMBER OF NEUTRONS PER FISSION
SUM OF NU-P (MT=456) AND NU-D (MT=455).
MT=455 DELAYED NEUTRON DATA
ESTIMATED WITH SEMI-EMPIRICAL FORMULA BY TUTTLE /3/.
MT=456 NUMBER OF PROMPT NEUTRONS
EXPERIMENTAL DATA OF JAFFEY AND LERNER /4/.
MF=2,MT=151 RESONANCE PARAMETERS
RESOLVED RESONANCES FOR MLBW FORMULA : 1.0E-5 - 150 EV
DATA OF DERRIEN AND LUCAS /5/ WERE ADOPTED AND 5 NEGATIVE
RESONANCES WERE ADDED. VALUES OF TOTAL SPIN J WERE
REPLACED WITH ARBITRARILY ASSUMED VALUES.
UNRESOLVED RESONANCES : 150 EV - 30 KEV
PARAMETERS WERE DETERMINED BY USING ASREP/6/ SO AS TO
REPRODUCE THE CAPTURE CROSS SECTION MEASURED BY VANPRAET
ET AL. /7/ AND THE FISSION CROSS SECTION BY DABBS ET AL.
/8/.
ENERGY INDEPENDENT PARAMETERS:
R=9.37 FM, GAM-G=0.044 EV, DOBS=0.4 EV
ENERGY DEPENDENT PARAMETERS:
AT 150 EV: S0= 1.08E-4, S1=2.72E-4, WF=0.24 MILLI-EV
AT 30 KEV: S0= 0.79E-4, S1=1.99E-4, WF=0.30 MILLI-EV

MF=3 NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS
MT=1,2 TOTAL AND ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTIONS
CALCULATED WITH OPTICAL AND STATISTICAL MODELS BY USING
CASTHY/9/. OPTICAL POTENTIAL PARAMETERS/10/ WERE OBTAINED
BY FITTING THE DATA OF PHILLIPS AND HOWE /11/ :
V = 43.4 - 0.107*EN (MEV)
WS= 6.95 - 0.339*EN + 0.0531*EN**2 (MEV)

MT=16,17 (N,2N) AND (N,3N) REACTION CROSS SECTIONS
JENDL-2 DATA CALCULATED WITH EVAPORATION MODEL WERE
ADOPTED.
MT=18 FISSION CROSS SECTION
EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF THE DATA BY DABBS ET AL./8/
MT=102 CAPTURE CROSS SECTION
EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF THE MEASURED DATA OF VANPRAET ET
AL./7/ IN THE UNRESOLVED RESONANCE REGION. ABOVE 30 KEV,
CALCULATION WITH CASTHY WAS ADOPTED. THE GAMMA-RAY
