    For JENDL-4.0, resonance energies and neutron widths were     
    evaluated on the basis of experimental data of Anufriev et    
    al./20/  Average capture width was assumed to be 100 meV.     
    A negative resonance was assumed at -10 eV adjusting its      
    parameters to the capture cross section of 89+-10 b at 0.0253 
    eV/19/. Scattering radius was assumed to be 6.0 fm which      
    was the same as Pr-141.

  Unresolved resonance region : 4 eV - 100 keV                    
    The lower boundary of 4 eV was determined so as to reproduce  
    well the  capture resonance integral of 190+-25 barns/2/.  The
    neutron strength functions, S0, S1 and S2 were calculated with
    optical model code CASTHY/3/.  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 100 keV.
    The radiation width Gg was based on the systematics of        
    measured values for neighboring nuclides.

    S0 = 2.300e-4, S1 = 1.100e-4, S2 = 1.700e-4, Sg = 5.98e-4,

   ***************************************************************
      For JENDL-4.0, the unresolved resonance parameters were     
    re-evaluated by the ASREP /21/ code so as to reproduce the    
    total and capture cross sections given in JENDL3.3 in the     
    energy region from 500 eV to 200 keV. The parameters          
    should be used only for self-shielding calculations.

mf = 3  Neutron cross sections                                    
  Below 4 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 taken from Ref./2/, and  
  the elastic scattering cross section was estimated by assuming  
  r = 4.8 fm.  Unresolved resonance parameters were given in the  
  energy range from 4 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 
  adopted from Moldauer/5/ since the parameters reproduced well   
  the total cross section measured by Foster and Glasgow/6/.  The 
  OMP's for charged particles are as follows:                     
     proton   = Perey/7/

     helium-3 and triton = Becchetti and Greenlees/10/            
  Parameters for the composite level density formula of Gilbert   
  and Cameron/11/ were evaluated by Iijima et al./12/  More       
  extensive determination and modification were made in the       
  present work.  Table 2 shows the level density parameters used  
  in the present calculation.  Energy dependence of spin cut-off  
  parameter in the energy range below E-joint is due to Gruppelaar
  /13/.

    Spherical optical and statistical model calculation with      
    CASTHY was adopted.  Direct and semi-direct capture cross     
    sections were estimated according to the procedure of Benzi   
    and Reffo/16/ and normalized to 1 milli-barn at 14 MeV.

 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 3.050 for Pr-143 and 5.0 for Pr-144.
