    - Resolved resonance region (MLBW formula): below 2.7 keV     
        Resonance parameters of 69 levels given in JENDL-3.3 were 
      reexaminated on the basis of the measurements by Ribon et   
      al./1/  As a result, a missing level at 1951.3 eV was       
      found.  The neutron widths of 70 levels were derived from   
      the measured g*(neutron width) data. Unknown values of total
      spin j were partly estimated from the difference between    
      total width and radiation width. For the levels whose total 
      width was unknown, the j-values were tentatively estimated  
      with a random number method. For the 9 levels whose the     
      radiation width was unknown, the averaged value 102.1 meV of
      the radiation widths were adopted. The orbital angular      
      momentum l was assumed to be 0 for all resonance levels. The
      scattering radius was taken from the graph (fig. 1, Part A) 
      given by Mughabghab et al./2/.                              
      The parameters at 9.5 eV were replaced with those at 9.66 eV
      obtained by Skoy et al./3/                                  
      A negative resonance level was added at -50 eV so as to     
      reproduce the thermal capture cross section of 22+-3 barns  
      at 0.0253 eV measured by Lucas et al./4/.                   
                                                                  
    - Unresolved resonance region: 1.7 keV - 200 keV              
        The parameters were obtained by fitting to the total and  
      capture cross sections calculated by the POD code /5/.      
      The ASREP code /6/ was employed in this evaluation.         
      The unresolved parameters should be used only for           
      self-shielding calculation.

1. Theoretical models                                             
 The POD code is based on the spherical optical model, the        
distorted-wave Born approximaiton (DWBA), one-component exciton   
preequilibrium model, and the Hauser-Feshbach-Moldauer statis-    
tical model.  With the preequilibrium model, semi-empirical       
pickup and knockout process can be taken into account for         
composite-particle emission.  The gamma-ray emission from the     
compound nucleus can be calculated within the framework of the    
exciton model.  The code is capable of reading in particle        
transmission coefficients calculated by separate spherical or     
coupled-channel optical model code. In this evaluation, the OPTMAN
code /7/ was employed for neutrons, while the ECIS code           
/9/ was adopted for charged particles.
