Delayed neutron spectra by decay group for fissioning systems from /sup 227/Th through /sup 255/Fm
The quality and quantity of delayed neutron precursor data has greatly improved over the past approximately 15 years. Supplementation of the data with model calculations and the use of models to extend the number of precursors to 271 is now practical. These data, along with improved fission-product parameters, permit direct calculations of aggregate behavior for many fissioning nuclides. The results can even be approximated using a few (usually six) temporal groups. This paper summarizes an extensive four-year effort to provide a complete set of evaluated data and emphasizes its use to generate the temporal approximations; precursor data and group values are intended for inclusion in ENDF/B-VI. 19 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
