HISTORY
93-03 NEW EVALUATION WAS MADE FOR JENDL-3.2.
MF=1 GENERAL INFORMATION
MT=451 DESCRIPTIVE DATA AND DICTIONARY
MT=452 TOTAL NUMBER OF NEUTRONS PER FISSION
SUM OF NU-P (MT=456) AND NU-D (MT=455).
MT=455 DELAYED NEUTRON DATA
DETERMINED FROM SYSTEMATICS BY TUTTLE/1/, BENEDETTI/2/ AND
WALDO ET AL./3/ DECAY CONSTANTS WERE TAKEN FROM THE EVALU-
ATION FOR NP-238 BY BRADY AND ENGLAND/4/.
MT=456 NUMBER OF PROMPT NEUTRONS
BASED ON THE DATA BY LINDNER AND SEEGMILLER /5/ AND
HOWERTON'S SYSTEMATICS/6/.
MF=2 RESONANCE PARAMETERS
MT=151 NO RESONANCE PARAMETERS ARE GIVEN.

============
MT= 1 TOTAL CROSS SECTION
SUM OF PARTIAL CROSS SECTIONS.
MT= 2 ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTION
CALCULATED WITH OPTICAL MODEL CODE CASTHY/7/.
MT= 18 FISSION CROSS SECTION
BASED ON THE DATA MEASURED BY VAL'SKIY ET AL./8/
MT= 102 CAPTURE CROSS SECTION
CAPTURE-TO-FISSION RATIO WAS ASSUMED TO BE 0.253 THAT WAS
OBTAINED FROM THE CAPTURE CROSS SECTION CALCULATED AT 20 KEV
AND THE FISSION CROSS SECTION.
ABOVE 20 KEV
============
MT= 1 TOTAL CROSS SECTION
CALCULATED WITH OPTICAL MODEL CODE CASTHY/7/. PARAMETERS
ARE LISTED IN TABLE 1.
MT= 2 ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTION
TOTAL - (SUM OF PARTIAL CROSS SECTIONS)
MT= 16, 17 (N,2N) AND (N,3N) CROSS SECTIONS
CALCULATED FROM A FORMULA GIVEN BY SAGEV AND CANER/9/.
THE REACTION CROSS SECTIONS CALCULATED WITH CASTHY WAS
ADOPTED AS THE NON-ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTION.
MT= 18 FISSION CROSS SECTION
ABOVE 5 MEV, A SIMPLE FORMULA BY BYCHKOV ET AL./9/ WAS USED.
EXPERIMENTAL DATA OF BRITT AND WILHELMY/10/ AND SYSTEMA-
TICS/11/ WERE CONSIDERED. THE CROSS-SECTION CURVE WAS
SMOOTHLY CONNECTED AT 20 KEV TO THE DATA OF VAL'SKIY ET
AL./8/
MT= 4, 51-54, 91 INELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTION
CALCULATED WITH CASTHY (OPTICAL AND STATISTICAL MODEL).
PARAMETERS USED ARE LISTED IN TABLES 1, 2 AND 3. THE LEVEL
SCHEME WAS TAKEN FROM EVALUATION BY SCHMORAK/12,13/.
MT= 102 CAPTURE CROSS SECTION
CALCULATED WITH CASTHY. AVERAGE CAPTURE WIDTH AND LEVEL
SPACING WAS ASSUMED TO BE 0.035 EV AND 0.11EV, RESPECTIVELY.
DIRECT AND SEMI-DIRECT CAPTURE WAS CALCULATED FROM A SIMPLE
FORMULA OF BENZI AND REFFO/14/.
MT= 251 MU-L

MF=4 ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS OF SECONDARY NEUTRONS
MT= 2, 51-54, 91
CALCULATED WITH CASTHY
MT=16, 17, 18
ASSUMED TO BE ISOTROPIC IN THE LABORATORY SYSTEM.
MF=5 ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS OF SECONDARY NEUTRONS
MT=16, 17, 91
EVAPORATION SPECTRA OBTAINED FROM THE LEVEL DENSITY
PARAMETERS WERE GIVEN.
MT=18
EVAPORATION SPECTRA. TEMPERATURE WAS DETERMINED FROM
SYSTEMATICS BY SMITH ET AL./15/
TABLE 1 OPTICAL POTENTIAL PARAMETERS
DETERMINED BY MURATA/16/ EXCEPT A CONSTANT TERM OF V
THAT WAS SELECTED SO AS TO REPRODUCE S0 OF 1.0E-4.

V = 40.5 - 0.05*E (MEV)
WS = 6.5 + 0.15*E (MEV): DERRIVATIVE WOOD-SAXON TYPE
VSO = 7.0 (MEV)
R0 = RSO = 1.32, RS = 1.38 (FM)
A = B = ASO = 0.47 (FM)
