    - Resolved resonance region (MLBW formula): below 2.3345 eV   
      The resolved resonance parameters wera taken from the work  
      of Mughabghab /1/.  The energy of a negative resonance      
      was changed to -70.45 eV so as to reproduce the thermal     
      capture cross section measured by Kondaiah et al./2/        
                                                                  
    - Unresolved resonance region: 2.3345 eV - 300 keV            
        The parameters were obtained by fitting to the total and  
      capture cross sections calculated by the POD code /3/.      
      The ASREP code /4/ 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 /5/ was employed for neutrons, while the ECIS code           
/6/ was adopted for charged particles.
