HISTORY
80-03 NEW EVALUATION WAS MADE BY T.NAKAGAWA AND S.IGARASI(JAERI).
DETAILS ARE GIVEN IN REF. /1/.
87-04 FORMAT WAS TRANSLATED TO ENDF-5 FORMAT.
88-03 SINCE NO RECENT EXPERIMENTAL DATA WERE AVAILABLE, THE DATA
OF JENDL-2 WERE ADOPTED FOR JENDL-3.

BELOW 0.225 EV:
1/V FORM WAS ASSUMED FOR FISSION AND CAPTURE CROSS
SECTIONS. EFFECTIVE SCATTERING RADIUS OF 9.54 FM WAS
USED FOR ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS-SECTION CALCULATION.
ABOVE 0.225 EV:
OPTICAL AND STATISTICAL MODELS WERE USED.
THE SPHERICAL OPTICAL POTENTIAL PARAMETERS (MEV, FM) :
V= 42.0 - 0.107*E , R= 1.282 , A= 0.6
WS= 9.0 - 0.339*E + 0.0531*E**2 , R= 1.29 , A= 0.5
VSO= 7.0 , R= 1.282 , A= 0.6
