We have performed sensitivity calculations using the CGMF code that implements the statistical Hauser-Feshbach equations in a Monte Carlo fashion to describe the de-excitation of fission fragments by emis sion of prompt neutrons and gamma rays. The specific importance of several input quantities is emphasized. An uncertainty quantification method, considering sources of uncertainty from both model calculations and experiments, is outlined.
