92-U -232 JAEA+ EVAL-JAN10 O.Iwamoto, T.Nakagawa, et al. DIST-DEC21 20100323 ----JENDL-5 MATERIAL 9219 -----INCIDENT NEUTRON DATA ------ENDF-6 FORMAT History 06-01 Fission cross section was modified. 06-10 Nu-p was modified. 07-05 New calculation was performed with CCONE code. Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 09-08 (MF1,MT458) was evaluated. 10-01 Data of prompt gamma rays due to fission were given. 10-03 Covariance data were given. 21-11 revised by O.Iwamoto (MF3/MT19-21,38) deleted (MF8/MT4,16-18,102) added MF= 1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT=455 and 456. MT=455 Delayed neutron data Nu-d was determined from Tuttle's systematics/2/. Six group decay constants were taken from the paper of Brady and England/3/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Nu-p measured by Jaffey and Lerner/4/ at the thermal neutron energy was adopted. An energy dependent term was determined from the systematics of Ohsawa /5/. Nu-p of Cf-252 SF = 3.756+-0.031 /6/ was used. MT=458 Components of energy release due to fission Total energy and prompt energy were calculated from mass balance using JENDL-4 fission yields data and mass excess evaluation. Mass excess values were from Audi's 2009 evaluation/7/. Delayed energy values were calculated from the energy release for infinite irradiation using JENDL FP Decay Data File 2000 and JENDL-4 yields data. For delayed neutron energy, as the JENDL FP Decay Data File 2000/8/ does not include average neutron energy values, the average values were calculated using the formula shown in the report by T.R. England/9/. The fractions of prompt energy were calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/10/ when they were provided. When the fractions were not given by Sher, averaged fractions were used. MF= 2 Resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameters (MLBW: 1.0E-5 - 200 eV) For JENDL-3.3, recommendation by Mughabghab /11/ was adopted, and its formula was changed from Reich-Moore to Multilevel Breit-Wigner type. Background cross section was given to reproduce measured fission cross sections/12,13/ at valleys of resonance levels. For the present file, the capture and fission widths of a negative resonance were modified so as to reproduce thermal cross sections. The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Fission = 76.5 +- 4.1 b Elson et al./14/, Cabell et al./15/, Gryntakis/16/ Capture = 75.4 +- 1.5 b Halperin et al./17/, Cabell et al./15/ Unresolved resonance parameters (200 eV- 40 keV) Parameters were determined with ASREP code/18/ so as to repruduce the following cross sections: Total = sum of partial cross sections Elastic = calculated with CCONE code/19/ Fission = results of GMA analysis Capture = calculated with CCONE code Thermal cross sections and resonance integrals (at 300K) ------------------------------------------------------- 0.0253 eV reson. integ.(*) (barns) (barns) ------------------------------------------------------- total 162.72 elastic 10.81 fission 76.52 364 capture 75.39 173 ------------------------------------------------------- (*) In the energy range from 0.5 eV to 10 MeV. MF= 3 Neutron cross sections Cross sections above the resolved resonance region except for the total (MT=1), elastic scattering (MT=2) and fission cross sections (MT=18, 19, 20, 21, 38) were calculated with CCONE code/19/. MT=1 Total cross section From 200 eV to 40 keV: sum of partial cross sections. Above 40 keV: the cross section was calculated with CCONE code using CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./20/ MT=2 Elastic scattering cross section From 200 eV to 40 keV: calculated with CCONE code. Above 40 keV: total - nonelastic scattering cross sections MT=18 Fission cross section Below 200 eV, background cross section was given. Above 200 eV, the following experimental data were analyzed with the GMA code /21/: Authors Energy range Data points Reference Auchampaugh+ 0.15 - 1.93 keV 265 /12/ Farrell 0.15 - 21.3 keV 1173 /13/ Fursov+ 0.135 - 14.7 MeV 77 /22/(*1) (*1) Relative to Pu-239 fission. Data were converted to cross sections using JENDL-3.3 data. In the energy range where experimental data were scarce, cross-section curve was determined by eye-guiding. The results of GMA were used to determine the parameters in the CCONE calculation. MT=19, 20, 21, 38 Multi-chance fission cross sections Calculated with CCONE code, and renormalized to the total fission cross section (MT=18). MF= 4 Angular distributions of secondary neutrons MT=2 Elastic scattering Calculated with CCONE code. MT=18 Fission Isotropic distributions in the laboratory system were assumed. MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Prompt neutron spectra Calculated with CCONE code. MT=455 Delayed neutron spectra Results of summation calculation made by Brady and England /3/ were adopted. MF= 6 Energy-angle distributions Calculated with CCONE code. Distributions from fission (MT=18) are not included. MF=12 Photon production multiplicities MT=18 Fission Calculated from the total energy released by the prompt gamma-rays due to fission given in MF=1/MT=458 and the average energy of gamma-rays. MF=14 Photon angular distributions MT=18 Fission Isotoropic distributions were assumed. MF=15 Continuous photon energy spectra MT=18 Fission Experimental data measured by Verbinski et al./23/ for U-235 thermal fission were adopted. MF=31 Covariances of average number of neutrons per fission MT=452 Number of neutrons per fission Combination of covariances for MT=455 and MT=456. MT=455 Error of 15% was assumed below 4 MeV and 4 - 7 MeV, and above 7 MeV, respectively. MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the data at thermal energy and 5 MeV assuming errors of 2% and 5%, respectively. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Standard deviations were adopted from the data of Mughabghab /11/. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/24/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the theoretical calculations. Covariances of the total, elastic-scattering and capture cross sections were determined by considering the experimental data (see MF=3). For the following cross sections, covariances were further modified. MT=1,2 Total and elastic scattering cross sections In the resonance region (up to 200 eV), uncertainty of 10 % was added. MT=18 Fission cross section In the resonance region, error of 5% was added to the contributions from uncertainties of resonance parameters. Above the resonance region, cross section was evaluated with GMA code/21/. Standard deviations of 20% were added in the energy region from 200 eV to 20 keV. Above 8 MeV, they were assumed to be 10%. MT=102 Capture cross section In the resonance region, addtional error of 2 % was given. MF=34 Covariances for Angular Distributions MT=2 Elastic scattering Covariances were given only to P1 components. MF=35 Covariances for Energy Distributions MT=18 Fission spectra Estimated with CCONE and KALMAN codes. ***************************************************************** Calculation with CCONE code ***************************************************************** Models and parameters used in the CCONE/19/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
