Uncertainty analyses of neutron cross sections for Nitrogen-15, Lead-206,207,208, Bismuth-209, Plutonium-238, Americium-242m, and Curium-244 in JENDL-3.3

Shibata, Keiichi; Nakagawa, Tsuneo

Covariances of neutron cross sections for $^{15}N$ , $^{206,207,208}Pb$ , $^{209}Bi$ , $^{238}Pu$ , $^{242m}Am$ and $^{244}Cm$ contained in JENDL-3.3 have been evaluated for the design of accelerator-driven transmutation systems. The covariances were obtained from the experimental data and model calculations on which the JENDL-3.3 data were based. The physical quantities for which covariances were deduced are the elastic scattering cross section of $^{15}N$ , the inelastic scattering cross sections of $^{206,207,208}Pb$ and $^{209}Bi$ , and the fission and capture cross sections of $^{238}Pu$ , $^{242m}Am$ and $^{244}Cm$ . Uncertainties in the resolved resonance parameters were estimated for $^{238}Pu$ , $^{242m}Am$ and $^{244}Cm$ . The results were compiled in the ENDF-6 format and merged with the JENDL-3.3 data.
