Nakayama. 21-11 JENDL-5b3 (MF2/MT151) RP below 1 keV, Lerendegui-Marco(2018) adopted 21-11 revised by O.Iwamoto (MF3/MT19-21,38) deleted (MF8/MT16-18,37,102) JENDL/AD-2017 adopted (MF8/MT4) added 21-11 above 20 MeV, JENDL-4.0/HE merged by O.Iwamoto 21-11 (MF6/MT5) recoil spectrum added by O.Iwamoto 21-12 (MF32/MT151) modified by O.Iwamoto RP unc. of Lerendegui-Marco et al.,PRC97,024605(2018) 21-12 (MF1/MT452,456) by O.Iwamoto revise nu-p (En > 20 MeV) by a systematics (MF6/MT5) by O.Iwamoto modify multiplicity of ZAP=1 to compensate the revision of nu-p MF= 1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT=455 and 456 MT=455 Delayed neutrons Determined from nu-d of the following three nuclides and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/2/. Pu-243 = 0.0153 an average of experimental data of Krick and Evans /3, 4/ Pu-242 = 0.011 0.00160 /5/ was multiplied by 0.7. Pu-241 = 0.0064 0.00911 /5/ was multiplied by 0.7. Values for Pu-242 and 241 were multiplied by 0.7 to reproduce the nu-d of 0.0113+-0.0009 at 14.7MeV/6/ Decay constants were evaluated by Brady and England/7/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Least-squares fitting of a straight line to the experimental data of Khokhlov et al./8/ Since their data were total numbers of neutrons per fission, numbers of delayed neutrons (MT=455) were subtracted. nu-p = 2.8779 + 0.13755*E(MeV) 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/9/. 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 2000/10/ does not include average neutron energy values, the average values were calculated using the formula shown in the report by T.R. England/11/. The fractions of prompt energy were calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/12/ 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 (below 1 keV) Resonance parameters of JENDL-3.3 were modified: * Upper boundary was decreased from 1.9 keV to 1 keV. * Capture width of 2.67-eV resonances was changed from 22 meV to 26.8 meV. * Fission width of 53.46-eV resonance was increased from 1.825 micro-eV to 36 micro-eV. Thermal capture cross section of 19.98+-0.66 b to be reproduced was determined from Butler et al./13/, Durham and Molson/14/ and Marie et al./15/. Unresolved resonance parameters (1 keV - 100 keV) Parameters were estimated with ASREP code/16/ so as to total, fission and capture cross sections in this energy region. They 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 10% was assumed below 5 MeV and above 5 MeV, respectively by comparing with experimental data/4, 6/ MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the experimental data of Khokhlov et al./8/(see MF1,MT456). Variances were multiplied by a factor of 2. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Standard deviations of resonance energy, neutron and capture widths were taken from Mughabghab /38/ Those of fission width were based on the data of fission area reported by Weigmann et al./29/ and Auchampaugh et al./23/. If no information was available, uncertainties were assumed. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/39/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the theoretical calculations.
