 ENDF/B-VI MOD 1 Revision, April 1998, R.Q. Wright (ORNL)         
                                                                  
 MF= 2   RESONANCE PARAMETERS                                     
                                                                  
  RESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE                                        
    The upper limit of the resolved resonance range is increased  
  from 67.64 to 1000 eV.  The number of resolved resonances is    
  increased from 27 to 254.  The resonance parameters are taken   
  from Mughabghab [7].                                            
                                                                  
  UNRESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE  1.00 to 10 keV (added)              
    The following parameters are used in this range:              
      S0 = 1.9E-4,  S1 = 1.0E-4,  D0 = 1.98 eV,                   
      GG = 0.113 eV,    GG/D0 = 570.7E-4,                         
      Scattering radius, R = 7.50 fm                              
    These parameters are based on Mughabghab [7] and RIPL [9].    
                                                                  
  The same scattering radius also used for resolved range.

   MT=  1  Total below 10 keV is much lower in the REVISED        
      evaluation relative to ENDF/B-V.  Total cross section above 
      10 keV is revised to join smoothly at 10 keV.  For all of   
      the dysprosium isotopes the total cross section is based on 
      the "eye guide" curve as given on page 546 of McLane [10].  
                                                                  
   MT=  2  Elastic scattering cross section is revised to reflect 
      the changes in the total and capture cross sections.        
      Elastic = Total - Nonelastic                                
                                                                  
   MT=102  Capture is revised above 10 keV.                       
      For the energy range 3 to 700 keV, the revision is based on 
      the measured data of Beer [8].  Capture above 700 keV is    
      revised to join smoothly at 700 keV.

   The revised thermal cross sections and the resonance integral  
 are compared with the values given by Mughabghab [7].
