MT=455 Delayed neutron data (same as JENDL-3.3) Numbers of delayed neutrons were evaluated by Maslov et al. /2/ which was based on Tuttle's systematics/3/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission (same as JENDL-3.3) Evaluated by Maslov et al./2/ * BASED ON THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA AT THERMAL ENERGY BY JAFFEY AND LERNER /4/, ZHURAVLEV ET AL. /5/ AND ON THE MADLAND-NIX MODEL CALCULATION /6/, ABOVE EMISSIVE FISSION THRESHOLD A SUPERPOSITION OF NEUTRON EMISSION IN (N,XNF) REACTIONS /7/ AND PROMPT FISSION NEUTRONS. 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 - 100 eV) The parameters given in JENDL-3.3 were evaluated by Maslov et al./2/ considering the data of Anufriev et al./12/ and Silbert/13/. A negative resonance was based on the data of Mughabghab/14/. In the present work, * capture widths were changed to 40 meV, * new resonaces were assumed at 41.8, 43 and 61.3 eV, * parameters were adjusted to the fission cross section measured by Silbert/13/, and * parameters of a negative resonance were modified so as to reproduce the thermal cross sections. The energies of Silbert's data were shifted down by 0.3%. The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Fission = 587 +- 12 b Bemis et al./15/, Zhuravlev anf Kroshkin/16/, Serot et al./17/, etc. Capture = 131.3 +- 9.6 bb Bemis et al./15/ Unresolved resonance parameters (100 eV - 40 keV) Parameters (URP) were determined with ASREP code/18/ so as to reproduce the cross sections in this energy region. URP are used only for self-shielding calculations.

MF= 3 Neutron cross sections Cross sections above the resolved resonance region except for the total (MT=1), elastic scattering (MT=2) and fission cross sections (MT=18, 19, 20, 21, 38) were calculated with CCONE code/19/.

Data were converted to cross sections using JENDL-3.3 data. The results of GMA were used to determine the parameters in the CCONE calculation. In the energy region from 8 to 20 MeV, the data of JENDL-3.3 were adopted.

MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Fission neutron spectra Below 6 MeV, calculated by Ohsawa /23/ with modified Madland- Nix formula considering multi-mode fission processes (standard-1, standard-2, superlong). Above 7 MeV, calculated with CCONE code/19/. MF= 6 Energy-angle distributions Calculated with CCONE code. 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./24/ for Pu-239 thermal fission were adopted.

MT=455 Standard deviation was roughly estimated as 15% below 6 MeV, 20% from 6 to 8 MeV and 20% from 8 to 20 MeV. MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting to the data of 3.43+-0.07 at 0 MeV and 4.083+-0.20 at 5 MeV. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Standard diviations of resonance parameters up to 15 eV were taken from recomendattion of Mughabghab/14/. For other resonances, the following standard diviations were assumed: resonance energy 0.1 % neutron width 10% capture width 20% fission width 10% MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/25/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the theoretical calculations. For the following cross sections, covariances were determined by different methods. MT=1 Total cross section Uncertainties of 20% were added to the contributions from resonance parameters in the energy range from 10 to 100 eV. MT=2 Elastic scattering Uncertainties of 10% were added to the contributions from resonance parameters in the energy below 100 eV. MT=18 Fission cross section Evaluated with GMA code/21/. Standard deviation obtained was multiplied by a factor of 2.0. Above 8 MeV, standard deviation was assumed to be 10%. MT=102 Capture cross section Uncertainties of 30% were added to the contributions from resonance parameters in the energy range from 10 to 100 eV. 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 Below 6 MeV, covarinaces of Pu239 fission spectra given in JENDL-3.3 were adopted after multiplying a factor of 9.
