MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Reevaluated with reference to the value measured using a surrogate reaction method by Hirose et al. /1/. MF= 2 Resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameters (MLBW: 1.0E-5 - 400eV) Resonance energies, neutron widths, and radiation widths up to 400 eV reported by Kawase et al. /2/ were adopted. The parameters from 400 to 1000 eV in /2/ were not adopted since it appears to be missing. Fission widths were modified so as to reproduce the fission cross sections of JENDL-4.0.

Technol., 58, 764 (2021). ================================================================== JENDL-4.0 ================================================================== MF= 1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT's = 455 and 456. MT=455 Delayed neutron data (same as JENDL-3.3) Evaluated by Maslov et al./2/ * NUMBER OF NEUTRONS PER FISSION FROM TUTTLE'S SYSTEMATICS/3/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission The experimental data of Zhuravlev et al./4/ was adopted. An energy dependent term was based on the systematics derived by Ohsawa/5/. 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/6/. 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 2000/7/ does not include average neutron energy values, the average values were calculated using the formula shown in the report by T.R. England/8/. The fractions of prompt energy were calculated using the fractions of Sher's evaluation/9/ 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 - 400 eV) The resonance parameters adopted in JENDL-3.3 were evaluated by Maslov et al./2/ They took the data of Berreth et al./10/, Benjamin et ak./11/, Belanova et al./12/, Cote et al./13/ into account, and adjusted the parameters to the fission cross section of Moore and Keyworth/14/ and Maguire et al./15,16/ and gave background data to the fission. In the present work, the parameters of 4.3-eV resonance and background cross sections were modified. The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Fission = 0.044 +- 0.022 b Benjamin et al./10/, Zhuravlev et al./17/, Serot et al./18/ Capture = 1.15 +- 0.27 b Halperin et al./19/, Gavrilov et al./20/ Unresolved resonance parameters (400 eV - 140 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/22/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./23/ 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/24/: Authors Energy range Data points Reference Moore+ 400eV - 2.83MeV 753 /14/ Fomushkin+ 0.3 - 4.5MeV 18 /25/ Maguire+ 0.13eV - 80keV 58 /15/ Fomushkin+ 14.1MeV 1 /26/ Fursov+ 0.164 - 6.8MeV 45 /27/(*1) Ivanin+ 0.637 - 11.37MeV 25 /28/ (*1) Ratio to Pu-239 fission. JENDL-3.3 data was used to convert them into the cross section. Above 7 MeV, an eye-guided cross section curve was adopted. 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 /29/ with modified Madland-Nix formula considering multi-mode fission processes (standard-1, standard-2, superlong). Above 7 MeV, calculated with CCONE code/22/. 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./30/ 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 data at the thermal energy /4/ and 5 MeV (derived from systematics) with uncertainties of about 4% and 5%, respectively. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Standard deviations were adopted from the data of Moore and Keyworth/14/, Belanova et al./12/, and others. For the 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/31/ 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 400 eV), uncertainty of 10 % was added. MT=18 Fission cross section In the resonance region, standard deviation of 50 % was added. Above the resonance region, cross section was evaluated with GMA code/24/. Standard deviations obtained were multiplied by a factor of 1.5. Above 7 MeV, they were assumed to be 20%. MT=102 Capture cross section In the resonance region, addtional error of 15 % was given. Above 400 eV, covariance matrix was obtained with CCONE and KALMAN codes/31/. 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/22/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
