(MF32,MT151) LFW and RP were corrected. 21-11 revised by O.Iwamoto (MF3/MT19-21,38) deleted (MF8/MT16-18,102) JENDL/AD-2017 adopted (MF8/MT4) added MF=1 General Information MT=451 Descriptive data and dictionary MT=452 Number of neutrons per fission Sum of MT=455 and 456. MT=455 Delayed neutrons per fission Determined from nu-d of the following three nuclides and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/2/. U -235 = 0.01053 U -234 = 0.0067 U -233 = 0.004998 The data for U-235 and U233is average of systematics by Tuttle/3/, Benedetti et al./4/ and Waldo et al./5/ For U-234, determined from experimental data of Borzakov et al./6/, Conant et al./7/ and Keepin et al./8/. Six group decay constants were adopted from Brady and England/9/. MT=456 Prompt neutrons per fission (same as JENDL-3.3) Based on the experimental data by Mather et al./10/ Nu-p of Cf-252 spontaneous fission was assumed to be 3.756. 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/11/. 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 2000/12/ does not include average neutron energy values, the average values were calculated using the formula shown in the report by T.R. England/13/. The fractions of prompt energy were calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/14/ 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: 1.0-5 eV - 1.5 keV) Dridi/15/ analyzed the capture cross section measured at n_TOF with SAMMY code, and obtained the neutron and capture widths of resonances up to 1.5 keV. Their parameters were adopted in the present file. Since cross sections calculated with MLBW formula were almost the same as those with RM formula, MLBW formula was adopted. Fission widths were calculated from the neutron and capture widths of Dridi et al. and fission areas calculated from the resonance parameters of James et al./16/ For new resonances measured by Dridi, fission width was not given. The fission width of 5.17-eV resonance was determined so as to reproduce the fission cross section measured by Heyse et al./17/ A negative resonance was assumed at -0.97 eV by Dridi/15/. Its parameters were adjusted to the thermal cross sections. Scattering radius of 9.6 fm was adopted, which was in good agreement with CCONE calculation. The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Fission = 0.064 +- 0.014 b Wagemans et al./18/ Capture = 100.2 +- 1.0 b Pomerance/19/, Lounsbury et al./20/, Cabell et al./21/ Bringer et al./22/ Unresolved resonance parameters (1.5 keV - 80 keV) Parameters were determined with ASREP code/23/ so as to reproduce cross sections in this energy region. The parameters are used only for self-shielding calculations.

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. MT=456 Covariance of obtained by fitting a stlight line to data points with errors of 2% at 1 MeV and 5% at 10 MeV. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Errors of neutron and capture widths were adopted from Ref./35/ Those of fission widths were assumed to be the same as relative error of fission widths given by James et al./16/ Further errors of 10% were added to the total, elastic scattering, fission and capture cross sections in the resonance region. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/36/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the theoretical calculations. For the following cross sections, covariances were determined by different methods. MT=18 Fission cross section Above 1.5 keV, evaluated with GMA code/25/. Variances obtained by GMA were multiplied by a factor of 1.5. MT=102 Capture cross section Above 1.5 keV, Covariance matrix was obtained with CCONE and KALMAN codes/36/.
