History
07-09 Theoretical calculation was performed with CCONE code.
07-10 Theoretical calculation was performed with CCONE code.
07-11 Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/
09-08 (MF1,MT458) was evaluated.
10-01 Data of prompt gamma rays due to fission were given.
10-03 Covariance data were given.
MF=1 General information
MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission
Sum of MT's=455 and 456.
MT=455 Delayed neutron data
(Same as JENDL-3.3)
Estimated from systematics by Tuttle/2/, Benedetti et al./3/
and Waldo et al./4/
Decay constants were taken from Ref./5/
MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission
(Same as JENDL-3.3)
Estimated from Howerton's sytematics/6/.
MT=458 Components of energy release due to fission
Total energy and prompt energy were calculated from mass
balance using JENDL-4 fission yields data and mass excess
evaluation. Mass excess values were from Audi's 2009
evaluation/7/. Delayed energy values were calculated from
the energy release for infinite irradiation using JENDL FP
Decay Data File 2000 and JENDL-4 yields data. For delayed
neutron energy, as the JENDL FP Decay Data File 2000/8/ does
not include average neutron energy values, the average values
were calculated using the formula shown in the report by
T.R. England/9/. The fractions of prompt energy were
calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/10/ when
they were provided. When the fractions were not given by Sher,
averaged fractions were used.

Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the

MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections
Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using
KALMAN code/19/ and the covariances of model parameters
used in the cross-section calculations.
Covariances of the fission cross section were determined from
experimental data.
For the following cross sections, standard deviations in the
energy region below 0.5 eV were assumed as follows:

Models and parameters used in the CCONE/11/ calculation
1) Coupled channel optical model
Levels in the rotational band were included. Optical model
potential and coupled levels are shown in Table 1.
2) Two-component exciton model/20/
* Global parametrization of Koning-Duijvestijn/21/
was used.
* Gamma emission channel/22/ was added to simulate direct
and semi-direct capture reaction.
3) Hauser-Feshbach statistical model
* Moldauer width fluctuation correction/23/ was included.
* Neutron, gamma and fission decay channel were included.
* Transmission coefficients of neutrons were taken from
coupled channel calculation in Table 1.
* The level scheme of the target is shown in Table 2.
* Level density formula of constant temperature and Fermi-gas
model were used with shell energy correction and collective
enhancement factor. Parameters are shown in Table 3.
* Fission channel:
Double humped fission barriers were assumed.
Fission barrier penetrabilities were calculated with
Hill-Wheler formula/24/. Fission barrier parameters were
shown in Table 4. Transition state model was used and
continuum levels are assumed above the saddles. The level
density parameters for inner and outer saddles are shown in
Tables 5 and 6, respectively.
* Gamma-ray strength function of Kopecky et al/25/,/26/
