Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 10-02 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/MT4,16-18,37,102) added MF= 1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT's = 455 and 456. MT=455 Delayed neutron data Semi-empirical formula by Tuttle/2/. Decay constants were evaluated by Brady and England/3/. MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Semi-empirical formula by Howerton/4/. MF= 2 Resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameters (MLBW: 1.0e-5 - 1.0 keV) (same as JENDL-3.3) Resonance parameters were taken from Moore et al./5/ by assuming an average radiative capture width of 0.035 eV and fission width of 0.035 eV. Two hypothetical resonances at 1.4 and -3.5 EV were adopted to reproduce the 2200-m/s cross sections and resonance integrals/6,7/. Scattering radius of 9.23 fm was estimated from the shape elastic scattering cross section calculated with CASTHY/8/. Unresolved resonance parameters (1 - 150 keV) Parameters (URP) were determined with ASREP code/9/ 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/10/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./11/ MT= 2 Elastic scattering cross section Calculated as total - non-elastic scattering cross sections. MT=18 Fission cross section (Above 1 keV) The experimental data of Moore et al./5/ were analyzed with the GMA code /12/. The results of GMA were used to determine the parameters in the CCONE calculation. In the energy region from 4 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. MT=18 Fission Isotropic distributions in the laboratory system were assumed. MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Prompt netrons Calculated with CCONE code/10/. MT=455 Delayed neutrons Calculated by Brady and England/3/. 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 which was estimated from its systematics, 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./13/ 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 10%. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameterss Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Uncertainties of parameters were taken from Mughabghab /14/. 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 20 % 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/15/ 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 above 8 MeV were assumed to be 20%. 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/10/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
