Title: Some highlights in the evaluations of the thermal cross sections and resonance parameters of the actinides

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5876570

The resonance parameters and thermal cross sections of /sup 235/ /sup 238/U and /sup 239/ /sup 240/ /sup 241/ /sup 242/Pu are reevaluated by considering the measurements carried out since 1973. Capture, scattering, fission cross sections as well as resonance integrals are calculated from the parameters and are compared with experimental values with the objective of achieving consistency between calculations and measurements. The Dyson-Metha ..delta../sub 3/ statistical analysis was applied in order to calculate average level spacings. Calculations of average radiative widths based on systematics are carried out and are compared with experimental values as well as with Moore's and Lynn's estimates.
