94-Pu-244 JAEA+ EVAL-FEB10 O.Iwamoto, T.Nakagawa, + DIST-DEC21 20100318 ----JENDL-5 MATERIAL 9452 -----INCIDENT NEUTRON DATA ------ENDF-6 FORMAT History 06-12 Fission cross section was revised with GMA code. 07-05 Data were calculated with CCONE code. Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 10-02 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/MT4,16-18,37,102) added MF= 1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT=455 and 456 MT=455 Delayed neutrons (same as JENDL-3.3) Determined from the systematics of Manero and Konshin/2/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission (same as JENDL-3.3) Determined from the data for Pu-240 and Pu242. MF= 2 Resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameters (below 290 eV) (almost the same as JENDL-3.3) Recommendation of Mughabghab/3/ was adopted. Mughabghab adopted experimental data of Auchampaugh et al./4/ The average capture width of 20 meV was assumed. Fission widths were determined so as to reproduce integrated measured fission cross sections around each resonance peak. The scattering radius of 9.33 fm adopted was obtained from an optical model calculation. For the present file, a neutron width of a negative resonance was adjusted to the thermal capture cross section of 1.71b, which were determined from the data of Fields et al./5/, Butler et al./6/ and Schuman/7/. Unresolved resonance parameters (290 eV - 100 keV) Unresolved resonance parameters were determined with ASREP code/8/ so as to reproduce the total and capture cross sections calculated with CCONE code/9/, and average fission cross section determined with GMA code/10/. 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/9/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./11/. MT= 2 Elastic scattering cross section Calculated as total - non-elastic scattering cross sections. MT=18 Fission cross section The following experimental data were analyzed in the energy range from 290 eV to 20 MeV with the GMA code /10/: Authors Energy range Data points Reference Auchampaugh+ 280 eV - 400 keV 5163 /4/ Behrens+ 102 keV - 19.7 MeV 125 /12/(*1) Moore+ 404 keV - 8.28 MeV 136 /13/ Staples+ 0.514 - 19.5 MeV 124 /14/(*1) *1) ratio to U-235 fission cross section 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.

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 which was estimated from its systematics, 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./15/ for Pu-239 thermal fission were adopted. MF=31 Covariances of average number of neutrons per fission MT=452 Number of neutrons per fission Sum of covariances for MT=455 and MT=456. MT=455 Error of 15% was assumed. 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 taken from Mughabghab /16/. For the parameters without any information on uncertainty, the following uncertainties were assumed: Resonance energy 0.1 % Neutron width 10 % Capture width 20 % Fission width 50 % MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/17/ 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 deviation of 90 % was assumed in the energy region below 5 keV. In the resolved resonance region, the following standard deviations were added to the contributions from resonance parameters: Total 20 % Elastic scattering 20 % 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/9/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
