MT=455 Delayed neutron data Average values of systematics by Tuttle/2/, Benedetti et al. /3/ and Waldo et al./4/, and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/5/ Decay constants were assumed to be the same as those of Pu-238 calculated by Brady and England/6/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Based on systematics by Ohsawa/7/. MF= 2 Resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameters (below 10 eV) The resonance parameters of ENDF/B-VI were adopted and those of a negative resonance were modified to reproduce the thermal fission cross section of 141+-15 b which were derived from the experimental data of Gindler et al./8/, Hulet et al./9/, Belyaev et al./10/ Unresolved resonance parameters (10 eV - 40 keV) Parameters were determined with ASREP code/11/ to reproduce the fission cross section determined from the experimental data/12,13/, and total and capture cross sections calculated with CCONE code/5/. The parameters are used only for self- shielding calculations.

MF= 3 Neutron cross sections Cross sections above the resolved resonance region except for the elastic scattering (MT=2) and fission cross sections (MT=18, 19, 20, 21, 38) were calculated with CCONE code/5/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./14/ MT=2 Elastic scattering cross section Calculated as total - non-elstic scattering cross sections MT=18 Fission cross section The following experimental data were analyzed in the energy range from 100 eV to 4 MeV with the GMA code/15/: Authors Energy range Data points Reference Gromova+ 7.14 eV - 5.78 MeV 106 /12/ Gerasimov+ 15.8 eV - 34 keV 9 /13/ Below 80 eV, resonance structure was reproduced by eye- guiding. Avove 5.5 MeV, cross sections calculated with CCONE code were adopted. The simulated (n,f) cross sections of Britt and Wilhelmy/16/, and the experimental data of Gromova et al./12/, Gerasimov et al./13/ and Vorotnikov et al./17/ 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 fission neutrons Calculated with CCONE code. MF= 6 Energy-angle distributions Calculated with CCONE code.

MF=12 Photon production multiplicities MT=18 Fission Calculated from the total energy released by the prompt gamma-rays due to fission which was estimated from its systematics, and the average energy of gamma-rays.

MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the data at 0.0 and 5.0 MeV with an uncertainty of 5%. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameterss Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Uncertainties of parameters were assumed as follows: Resonance energy 0.1 % Neutron width 10 % Capture width 50 % Fission width 20 % They were further modified by considering experimental data of the fission cross section at the thermal neutron energy. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/19/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the cross-section calculations. For the fission cross section, covariances obtained with the GMA analysis were adopted. Standard deviations (SD) were multiplied by a factor of 1.5. SD's of 15% were assumed in the energy region below 86 eV and above 4 MeV. In the resolved resonance region, the following standard deviations were added to the contributions from resonance parameters: Total 2 b Elastic scattering 20 % MF=34 Covariances for Angular Distributions MT=2 Elastic scattering Covariances were given only to P1 components.
