Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 09-02 (1,452), (1,456) and resonance parameters were revised. 09-03 (1,452) and (1,455) were revised. 09-08 (MF1,MT458) was evaluated. 09-11 New calculation was made with CCONE code. 10-01 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/MT16-18,102) JENDL/AD-2017 adopted (MF8/MT4) added MF= 1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT's=455 and 456. MT=455 Delayed neutron data Determined from nu-d of the following three nuclides and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/2/. Cm-243 = 0.002114 Cm-242 = 0.001462 Cm-241 = 0.001014 They are averages of systematics by Tuttle/3/, Benedetti et al./4/ and Waldo et al./5/ Decay constants calculated by Brady and England./6/ were adopted. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Based on the systematics recommended by Ohsawa/7/. 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/8/. 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 2000/9/ does not include average neutron energy values, the average values were calculated using the formula shown in the report by T.R. England/10/. The fractions of prompt energy were calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/11/ 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 (MLBW: 1.0E-5 - 275 eV) The resolved resonance parameters of JENDL-3.3 were based on the data of Artamonov et al./12/ and Alam et al./13/ They were adjusted to the thermal cross sections. Background cross section was given to the fission. These parameters were re-adjusted to the fission cross section and fission resonance integral/13/. The negative and first positive resonances were also modified to reproduce the thermal cross sections/14,15/, and energy-dependent fission cross sections measured by Alam et al./13/ Background cross section given in JENDL-3.3 was removed. The fission resonance integral between 0.53eV and 50.93keV is 12.5b which is in agreement with 12.9+-0.7b of Alam et al./13/ The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Fission = < 5 b Hanna et al./14/ Capture = 19.1 +- 1.5 b Bringer et al./15/ Unresolved resonance parameters (275 eV - 100 keV) Parameters (URP) were determined with ASREP code/16/ so as to reproduce the cross sections in this energy region. URP are used only for self-shielding calculations.

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./21/ 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 Error of 15% was assumed below 5 MeV and above 5 MeV, respectively. MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the at 0.0 and 5.0 MeV with an uncertainty of 5%.

Standard deviations of resonance energies and neutron widths were taken from Artamonov et al./12/, those of capture widths from Mughabghab /22/, and those of fission widths from Alam et al./13/ MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/23/ 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 cross sections In the resonance region (below 275 eV), uncertainty of 10 % was added. MT=18 Fission cross section Above the resonance region, cross section was evaluated with GMA code/18/. Standard deviation obatianed was adopted after modifications.
