2009/05/11 updated



3-Li-6
  • No data are given to (MF=12, MT=51, 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56). [2004/12/03][*1]
5-B -11
  • The combination of photon yield and average energy of capture spectrum doesn't match the capture Q value. The difference is 21.7% at thermal energies. [2002/09/05]
7-N -14
  • MF=12 and MF=13 are not correct. [2006/02/17]
8-O -16
  • MF=12/MT=102 has log-log interpolation, but MF=15/102 has linear-linear interpolation. This causes the capture photon energy to differ from the energy available in between the energy grid points. [2002/09/05]
  • No data are given to (MF=12, MT=51, 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56). [2004/12/03][*1]
12-Mg-24
  • Gamma transition data of (MF=12, MT=58) is not correct. Level energy of 7.552990 MeV should be 4.23839 MeV. [2003/02/06]
20-Ca-40
  • The cross section of MT=107 is 0.0 below 900 keV. However, the cross section was measured at the thermal neutron energy. [2003/05/03]
20-Ca-42
  • Multiplicities of gamma rays given in (MF=12, MT=91) are too large around the threshold energy. [2002/07/06]
23-V - 0
  • In the comment part (MF=1,MT=451), two-byte characters of ":" exist. [2005/05]
24-Cr-50
  • MF=12/MT=102 gives a constant from thermal to 1 keV, but MF=15/MT=102 has additional points at 100 eV and 1 keV with different average energies than the thermal value. This causes errors up to 28.8% in the capture energy balance.[2002/09/05]
24-Cr-52
  • Same problem as Cr-50 in MF=12/MT=102 and MF=15/MT=102, with the error at 100 eV being 38%. [2002/09/05]
24-Cr-53
  • Same problem as Cr-50 in MF=12/MT=102 and MF=15/MT=102, with the error at 100 eV being 22.6%. [2002/09/05]
27-Co- 59
  • In the comment part (MF=1,MT=451), a two-byte character of ":" exists. [2005/06/02]
40-Zr- 92
  • The fourth transition energy of 1.495 MeV given in MF=12/MT=59, is not correct. A correct value is 1.4956 MeV. [2005/05/10]
41-Nb-93
  • No data are given to (MF=12, MT=51). [2004/12/03][*1]
44-Ru-99
  • Interpolation of MF5 is not 22. [2005/08/22]
52-Te-127m
  • In MF5, the maximum neutron energy at the threshold is not 1 eV. [2005/08/22]
74-W -182
  • MF=13, MT=3 is not correct. [2006/02/17]
74-W -183
  • MF=13, MT=3 is not correct. [2006/02/17]
74-W -184
  • MF=13, MT=3 is not correct. [2006/02/17]
80-Hg-199
  • No data are given to (MF=12, MT=57). [2004/12/03][*1]
82-Pb-207
  • No data are given to (MF=12, MT=53). [2004/12/03][*1]
90-Th-232
  • Nu-p and Nu-total (MF=1, MT=452 and 456) are not correct below 1.56 MeV. [2002/06/27]
  • (MF=4, MT=51) at 2 MeV, "3.74524+1" at cos(theta)=-0.258818 is not correct. [2003/01/22]
90-Th-234
  • Nu-p and Nu-total (MF=1, MT=452 and 456) are not correct below 1.5 MeV. [2002/07]
92-U-233
  • In the covariance of resonance parameters (MF=32, MT=151), values of total spin are not correct for many resonances. [2005/04/14]
92-U-234
  • Fission spectrum data of (MF=5,MT=18) are incorrect below 500 keV. [2005/08/25]
93-Np-237
  • Q-value of capture (MF=3,MT=102) is not correct. [2009/05/11]
94-Pu-238
  • On the first line of comments (MF=1,MT=451), "95-Pu-238" should be "94-Pu-238". [2003/11/12]
94-Pu-240
  • The upper boundary (5.682keV) of MF=32. MT=151 is higher than that (2.7 keV) of MF2, MT=151 [2005/12/28]
94-Pu-241
  • In the covariance of resonance parameters (MF=32, MT=151), "-2.81172e-6" in the third value on the line of 13 should be "-2.81172e-8". [2004/04/15]
  • In the covariance of resonance parameters (MF=32, MT=151), the enery of 2nd resonance of -0.12256 eV is not correct. It should be -0.1225 eV. [2005/04/14]
  • Q-value of capture (MF=3,MT=102) is not correct. [2009/05/11]
94-Pu-242
  • Q-value of fission (MF=3,MT=18) is too small. [2004/10/08]
95-Am-241
  • No data are given for (MF-4,MT=18). [2003/10/31]
  • Fission spectrum data (MF=5,MT=18) are incorrect below 500 keV. [2003/11/12]
These two problems were modified and an unpdated file is available from JENDL-3.3 updated data file. [2003/12/17]
