Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 09-03 (1,452) and (1,455) were revised. 09-08 (MF1,MT458) was evaluated. 10-01 Data of prompt gamma rays due to fission were given. 10-03 Covariance data were given. 21-04 JENDL-5b1 (MF3,MT2) recalculated (MF3,MT102) modified from 100 eV to 2 MeV 21-11 revised by O.Iwamoto (MF3/MT19-21,38) deleted (MF8/MT16-18,37,102) 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-246 = 0.006482 Cm-245 = 0.004451 Cm-244 = 0.003064 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 (same as JENDL-3.3) Evaluated by Maslov et al./7/ * BASED ON THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA OF KHOKHLOV ET AL./8/ AND MADLAND-NIX MODEL CALCULATIONS/9/, ABOVE EMISSIVE FISSION THRESHOLD A SUPERPOSITION OF NEUTRON EMISSION IN (N,XNF) REACTIONS /10/ 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/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 (MLBW: 1.0E-5 - 100 eV) JENDL-3.3 adopted the data evaluated by Maslov et al./7/ They considered the data of Browne et al./15/ and Moore and Keyworth/16/. For the present file, the parameters of levels below 20 eV were modified so as to reproduce better the thermal cross sections and measured fission cross sections/15,17/, and capture resonance integral/18/. The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Fission = 2054 +- 28 b Benjamin et al./19/, Browne et al./15/, etc. Capture = 347 +- 15 b Halperin et al./20/, Gavrilov et al./18/ Capture resonance integral = 108 +- 81 b Gavrilov and Goncharov/18/ Unresolved resonance parameters (100 eV - 40 keV) Parameters were determined with ASREP code/21/ so as to reproduce the cross sections. They 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/2/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./22/ 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 with the GMA code/23/: Authors Energy range Data points Reference Moore+ 80eV - 2.83MeV 3162 /16/ White+ 13.6keV - 9.8MeV 65 /24/ Fomushkin+ 0.26 - 6.21MeV 30 /25/ Fomushkin+ 14.1MeV 1 /26/ Gokhberg+ 0.176 - 5MeV 21 /27/ Fursov+ 0.13 - 15MeV 49 /28/(*1) Gerasimov+ 0.16 - 16keV 7 /29/ Ivanin+ 14keV - 9.0MeV 10 /30/ (*1) Ratio to Pu-239 fission. JENDL-3.3 data was used to convert them to cross sections. Above 7 MeV, an eye-guided cross-section curve was dwawn adopting the data of Fursov et al./28/ at 14.9 MeV. 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. MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Fission neutron spectra Below 6 MeV, calculated by Ohsawa/31/ with modified Madland-Nix formula considering multi-mode fission processes (standard-1, standard-2, superlong). Above 7 MeV, calculated with CCONE code/2/. MT=455 Delayed neutron spectra (same as JENDL-3.3) Summation calculation by Brady and England/6/ was adopted. 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./32/ 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 experimental data /8,33,34,35,36/ Discrepancies between Maslov evaluation/7/ and the fitting results were taken into uncertainties. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Standard deviations were adopted from Mughabghab's recommendation /37/. For parameters having no information on uncertainties, the following errors were assumed: 0.1% to resonance energies 10% to neutron and fission widths 20% to capture widths MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/38/ 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 100 eV), uncertainty of 10 % was added. MT=18 Fission cross section In the resonance region, standard deviation of 5 % was added. Above the resonance region, cross section was evaluated with GMA code/23/. Standard deviations obtained were multiplied by a factor of 2.0. Above 10 MeV, they were assumed to be 15%. MT=102 Capture cross section In the resonance region, addtional error of 10 % was given. Above 100 eV, covariance matrix was obtained with CCONE and KALMAN codes/38/. 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. Above 6 MeV, estimated with CCONE and KALMAN codes. ***************************************************************** Calculation with CCONE code ***************************************************************** Models and parameters used in the CCONE/2/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
