    THE NEUTRON STRENGTH FUNCTIONS, S0, S1 AND S2 WERE CALCULATED 
    WITH OPTICAL MODEL CODE CASTHY/2/.  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

  BELOW 25 EV, THE CAPTURE AND ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTIONS  
  WERE ASSUMED TO BE IN 1/V FORM AND CONSTANT, RESPECTIVELY.      
  THE CAPTURE CROSS SECTION AT 0.0253 EV WAS ADOPTED FROM REF./3/ 
  AND THE SCATTERING CROSS SECTION WAS CALCULATED FROM R = 6.7 FM.
  UNRESOLVED RESONANCE PARAMETERS WERE GIVEN IN THE ENERGY RANGE  
  FROM 25 EV TO 100 KEV.                                          
                                                                  
  ABOVE 100 KEV, THE SPHERICAL OPTICAL AND STATISTICAL MODEL      
  CALCULATION WAS PERFORMED WITH CASTHY, BY TAKING ACCOUNT OF     
  COMPETING REACTIONS, OF WHICH CROSS SECTIONS WERE CALCULATED    
  WITH PEGASUS/4/ STANDING ON A PREEQUILIBRIUM AND MULTI-STEP     
  EVAPORATION MODEL.  THE OMP'S FOR NEUTRON GIVEN IN TABLE 1 WERE 
  DETERMINED BY IIJIMA AND KAWAI/5/ TO REPRODUCE A SYSTEMATIC     
  TREND OF THE TOTAL CROSS SECTION.  THE OMP'S FOR CHARGED

 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 3.625 FOR NB- 95 AND 5.0 FOR NB- 96.
