MT=455 Delayed neutron data Determined from nu-d of the following three nuclides and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/2/. Pu-242 = 0.0160 measured by Benedetti et al./3/ Pu-241 = 0.0064 data measured by Benedetti et al./3/ reduced by a factor of 0.7 Pu-240 = 0.0046 data for Pu-239, reduced by a factor of 0.7 Decay constants were adopted from Ref./4/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Experimental data of Conde et al./5/, Frehaut et al./6/ and D'yachenko et al./7/ were reproduced with two straight lines. A thermal value of 2.929 evaluated by Holden and Zucker/8/ was also considered. They were re-normalized to the nu-p of Cf-252 spontaneous fission of 3.756/9/. 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/10/. 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 2000/11/ does not include average neutron energy values, the average values were calculated using the formula shown in the report by T.R. England/12/. The fractions of prompt energy were calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/13/ 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 (RM: below 300 eV) Revised Derrien's evaluation/14/ below 20 eV was adopted. Numerical data were taken from ENDF/B-VII.0/15/. See Apendix A-1. Unresolved resonance parameters (300 eV - 30 keV) Parameters were determined with ASREP code/16/ to reproduce capture cross section measured by Weston and Todd/17/, fission cross section measured by Weston and Todd/17/, Migneco et al./18/ and Gerasimov et al./19/, and total cross section calculated with CCONE code. 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), fission (MT=18, 19, 20, 21, 38) and capture cross sections were calculated with CCONE code/2/. The model parameters were determined by considering integral data as well as measured capture cross sections data and fission cross section of JENDL-3.3. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./20/. MT=2 Elastic scattering cross section From 300 eV to 30 keV, CCONE calculation was adopted. Above 30 keV, it was calculated as (total)-(non-elastic scattering cross sections). MT=18 Fission cross section From 300 eV to 10 keV, the data of Weston and Todd/17/, Migneco et al./18/ and Gerasimov et al. /19/ were taken into consideration. Above 10 keV, experimental data measured after 1960 were analyzed by simultaneous fitting of U-233, U-235, U-238, Pu-239, Pu-240 and Pu-241 fission cross sections and their ratios by the SOK code /21/. -------------------------------------------------------------- Cross section -------------------------------------------------------------- EXFOR Energy range (eV) Authors Reference -------------------------------------------------------------- 30548.003 1.48E+7 N.A.Khan+ /22/ 10636.002 5.00E+3 - 6.50E+4 G.W.Carlson+ /23/ 20570.004 1.18E+6 - 2.63E+6 I.Szabo+ /24/ 20567.004 3.50E+4 - 9.70E+5 I.Szabo+ /24/ 20484.002 5.00E+3 - 2.98E+4 J.Blons+ /25/ 40636.007 1.46E+7 M.I.Kazarinova+ /26/ -------------------------------------------------------------- Ratio to U-235(n,f) cross section -------------------------------------------------------------- EXFOR Energy range (eV) Authors Reference -------------------------------------------------------------- 40474.003 2.40E+4 - 7.40E+6 B.I.Fursov+ /27/ 40474.003 1.27E+5 - 7.00E+6 B.I.Fursov+ /27/ 10563.002 5.00E+3 - 2.96E+7 J.W.Behrens+ /28/ 20364.002 1.37E+4 - 1.13E+6 F.Kaeppeler+ /29/ -------------------------------------------------------------- Cross section was slightly modified in the energy region from 1 to 4 MeV, and from 7 to 8 MeV for JENDL-4. MT=19, 20, 21, 38 Multi-chance fission cross sections Calculated with CCONE code, and renormalized to the total fission cross section (MT=18). MT=102 Capture cross section From 300 eV to 30 keV, the cross section was calculated from the unresolved resonance parameters mentioned above. CCONE calculation was adopted in the energy range above 50 keV. The experimental data of Weston and Todd/17/ were used to determine the parameters in the CCONE calculation. MF= 4 Angular distributions of secondary neutrons MT=2 Elastic scattering Calculated with CCONE code. MT=18 Fission Isotropic distributions were assumed in the laboratory system. MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Fission spectra Calculated with CCONE code. MT=455 Delayed neutron spectra (Same as JENDL-3.3) Results of summation calculation made by Brady and England/4/ were adopted. MF= 6 Energy-angle distributions Calculated with CCONE code/2/. 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./30/ for Pu-239 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 Number of delayed neutrons per fission Uncertainty of 5% /3/ was assumed in the energy region below 5 MeV and 15% above 5 MeV. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Covariance matrix was obtained by fitting to the experimental data of nu-p. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/31/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the theoretical calculations. For the following cross sections, covariances were determined by different methods. MT=1, 2 Total and elastic scattering In the resolved resonance region, uncertainty of 5% was added to the contributions from resonance parameter uncertainties. Above 300 eV, covariances for CCONE calculation were adopted. MT=18 Fission cross section Error of 2 % was assumed in the resolved resonance region up to 300 eV. In the energy range from 300 eV to 10 keV, the fission cross section was determined from the experimetal data of Gerassimov et al./19/ Error of 5% was assumed in the region up to 9 keV. Above 9 keV, covariance matrix was obtained by simultaneous evaluation among the fission cross sections of U-233, U-235, U-238, Pu-239, Pu-240 and Pu-241(See MF=3, MT=18, and /1/). Since the variances are very small, they were adopted by multiplying a factor of 2. MT=102 Capture cross section Error of 10 % was assumed in the resolved resonance region. In the energy region from 300 eV to 2 keV, error of 15% was assumed, and from 2 to 30 keV, error of 10%, by considering dispersion of average cross sections of Weston and Todd/17/. Above 30 keV, Covariance matrix was obtained with CCONE and KALMAN codes/31/. 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/2/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.

The fit of the experimental data (Young total, Wagemans fission, Weston capture and Weston fission ) were performed by assuming that young total and Wagemans fission were OK with the standard and that Weston original data(from the EXFOR file)needed a renor- zation to agree with the standard. A consistent normalization was obtained by a SAMMY fit leading to a decrease of 4.5% in the original Weston fission and a decrease of 3.0% in the original Weston capture.The differences between the 1988, 1993 and the present results are consistent with the experimental errors given by Weston for the measured fission (2-3%) and capture (10-15%). The default of normalization of the Weston fission,due to severe experimental errors in the thermal range, was responsible for the large uncertainty in the capture results.
