98-Cf-249 JAEA+ EVAL-JAN10 O.Iwamoto,T.Nakagawa,+ DIST-DEC21 20100318 ----JENDL-5 MATERIAL 9852 -----INCIDENT NEUTRON DATA ------ENDF-6 FORMAT History 05-12 Fission cross section above 70 eV was revised. 07-09 Theoretical calculation was made with CCONE code. Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 09-08 (MF1,MT458) was evaluated. 09-12 New theoretical calculation was made with CCONE code. 10-01 Data of prompt gamma rays due to fission were given. 10-03 Covariance data were given. 21-08 QI of MT58 was slightly shifted to avoid duplication with MT57 by S. Nakayama. 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 (Same as JENDL-3.3) Semi-empirical formula by Tuttle/2/. Decay constants were evaluated by Brady and England/3/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission (same as JENDL-3.3) At the thermal energy, the data of Volodin et al./4/ was adopted. An energy dependent term was based on the semi- empirical formula by Howerton/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 - 70.0 eV) Resonance energies, neutron and fission widths were taken from the experimental data of Benjamin et al./10/ Radiative widths were assumed to be 0.04 eV according to Dabbs et al./11/ A negative resonance was added so as to reproduce thermal cross sections. capture = 507+-20 /12,13/ fission = 1671+-28 /14,15,16,17/ Unresolved resonance parameters (70 eV - 30 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 elastic scattering (MT=2) and fission cross sections (MT=18, 19, 20, 21, 38) were calculated with CCONE code/19/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./20/ MT= 2 Elastic scattering cross section Calculated as total - non-elastic scattering cross sections. MT=18 Fission cross section In the energy range from 70 to 300 eV, the fission cross section was determined from the data measured by Dabbs et al./21/ Resonance structure was kept in the present file. Above 300 eV, the following experimental data were analyzed with the GMA code/22/: Authors Energy range Data points Reference Silbert 280 eV - 2.9 MeV 2083 /23/ Fursov+ 0.5 - 7 MeV 13 /24/ (*1) Dabbs+ 280 eV - 17 MeV 956 /21/ Kuprijanov+ 0.13 - 7.4 MeV 43 /25/ (*1) (*1) Relative to Pu-239 fission. 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 10 to 20 MeV, the data of JENDL-3.3 were adopted. 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/19/. MT=18 Fission Isotropic distributions in the laboratory system were assumed. MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Prompt neutrons Calculated with CCONE code/19/. MT=455 Delayed neutrons Calculated by Brady and England/3/. MF= 6 Energy-angle distributions Calculated with CCONE code/19/. 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./26/ for Pu-239 thermal fission were adopted. MF=31 Covariances of average number of neutrons per fission MT=452 Number of neutrons per fission Sum of covariances for MT=455 and MT=456. MT=455 Error of 15% was assumed. MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the data at 0.0 and 5.0 MeV with an uncertainty of 1% and 5%, respectively. The uncertainty of 1% was based on the data of Volodin et al./4/ MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameterss Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Uncertainties of parameters were taken from Mughabghab /27/. For the parameters without any information on uncertainty, the following uncertainties were assumed: Resonance energy 0.1 % Neutron width 10 % Capture width 20 % Fission width 10 % They were further modified by considering experimental data of the fission and capture cross sections at the thermal neutron energy. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/28/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the cross-section calculations. For the fission cross section, covariances obtained with the GMA analysis were adopted. Standard deviations (SD) were multiplied by a factor of 1.5. SD of 6% were assumed in the energy region above 6 MeV. In the resolved resonance region, the following standard deviations were added to the contributions from resonance parameters: Elastic scattering 20 % 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 Estimated with CCONE and KALMAN codes. ***************************************************************** Calculation with CCONE code ***************************************************************** Models and parameters used in the CCONE/19/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
