MT=455 Delayed neutrons Determined from nu-d of the following three nuclides and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/2/. Am-244 = 0.0085 Saleh et al./3/, Charlton et al./4/ Am-243 = 0.006659 *1) Am-242 = 0.0049 Saleh et al./3/ *1) an average of systematics by Tuttle/5/, Benedetti et al./6/ and Waldo et al./7/ Decay constants were taken from Saleh et al. and Brady and England. MT=456 Prompt neutrons per fission The data measured by Khokhlov et al./8/ and Drapchinsky et al./9/ were fitted by a linear function/10/. 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 (below 250eV) JENDL-3.3 parameters of resonances below 1.744 eV were modified: to reproduce an effective capture cross section measured by Ohta et al./15/, to delete background cross sections of fission given in JENDL-3.3. Unresolved resonance parameters (250eV - 40keV) Parameters were determined with ASREP code/16/ so as to reproduce the cross sections in the energy range from 250 eV to 40 keV. They are used only for self-shielding calculations.
