09-12 The resolved resonance parameters were evaluated by         
      A.Zukeran.                                                  
      The data above the resolved resonance region were evaluated 
      and compiled by N.Iwamoto.

  MT=151 Resolved and unresolved resonance parameters             
    Resolved resonance region (MLBW formula): below 26.0 keV      
      Evaluation for JENDL-2 was made by mainly on the basis of   
      the data measured by Tellier/1/ and Musgrove et al./2/      
      Resonance energies were adjusted to those of Tellier.       
      Average radiation widths were assumed to be 0.078 eV for    
      s-wave and some large p-wave resonances and to be 0.046 eV  
      for p-wave ones.                                            
      For JENDL-3, parameters of a negative resonance was modified
      so as to reproduce the thermal capture cross section        
      of 18.7+-0.7 barns/3/ and the resonance integral. However,  
      the calculated resonance integral is still too small.       
      For JENDL-3.2, these resonance parameters were modified so  
      as to reproduce the capture area data measured at ORNL, by  
      taking account of the correction factor (0.967) announced by
      Allen et al./4/.  The parameters of a negative resonance    
      and scattering radius were adjuseted to get better agreement
      with recommended thermal cross sections/5/.                 
      In JENDL-4, the data for 2.2 - 20.77 keV were updated by    
      using the capture area and g*Gamma_n data measured by       
      Wisshak et al./6/  Angulara momenta L and J remain          
      unchanged from JENDL-3.3.                                   
                                                                  
    Unresolved resonance region : 26.0 keV - 200.0 keV            
      The unresolved resonance paramters (URP) were determined by 
      ASREP code /7/ so as to reproduce the evaluated total and   
      capture cross sections calculated with optical model code   
      OPTMAN /8/ and CCONE /9/. The unresolved parameters         
      should be used only for self-shielding calculation.
