DETAILS ARE GIVEN IN REF. /1/.
82-03 COMPLETE REEVALUATION FOR JENDL-2 WAS MADE BY Y.KIKUCHI
(JAERI). DETAILS ARE GIVEN IN REF. /2/.
88-03 REEVALUATED FOR JENDL-3 WAS MADE BY T.NAKAGAWA (JAERI)/3/.

ESTIMATED WITH SEMI-EMPIRICAL FORMULA BY TUTTLE /4/.
MT=456 NUMBER OF PROMPT NEUTRONS
ESTIMATED FROM SYSTEMATICS. SAME AS PREVIOUS EVALUA-
TION /1/.
MF=2,MT=151 RESONANCE PARAMETERS
RESOLVED RESONANCES FOR MLBW FORMULA : 1.0E-5 - 215 EV.
JENDL-2 EVALUATION/2/ WAS BASED ON THE DATA OF SIMPSON ET
AL./5/. THE FISSION WIDTHS WERE MODIFIED FOR JENDL-3 ON
THE BASIS OF KNITTER AND BUDTZ-JORGENSEN/6/. VALUES OF
TOTAL SPIN WERE ASSUMED ARBITRARILY.
UNRESOLVED RESONANCES : 215 EV - 30 KEV
PARAMETERS OF JENDL-2 WERE ADOPTED.
OBTAINED FROM OPTICAL MODEL CALCULATION:
S0=0.93E-4, S1=2.44E-4, R=9.34 FM
ESTIMATED FROM RESOLVED RESONANCES:
DOBS=0.67 EV, WG=0.039 EV, WF=0.00012 EV
