 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 430.2 to 12200 eV.  The number of resolved resonances is   
  increased from 8 to 142.  The resonance parameters are taken    
  from Mughabghab [7].                                            
                                                                  
  UNRESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE  12.2 to 50 keV                      
    The following parameters are used in this range:              
      S0 = 1.8E-4, S1 = 1.1E-4, D0 = 65 eV,                       
      GG = 0.112 eV,      GG/D0 = 17.23E-4,                       
      Scattering radius, R = 7.82 fm                              
    These parameters are based on Mughabghab [7] and RIPL [8].    
                                                                  
  Same scattering radius also used for resolved range.

   MT=  1  Total below 12.2 keV is much lower in the REVISED      
      evaluation relative to ENDF/B-V.  Total cross section above 
      12.2 keV is revised to join smoothly at 12.2 keV.  For all  
      dysprosium isotopes the total cross section is based on the 
      "eye guide" curve as given on page 546 of McLane [9].       
                                                                  
   MT=  2  The elastic scattering cross section is revised to     
      reflect the changes in the total and capture cross sections.

   MT=102  Capture is revised above 50 keV                        
      For the energy range 16 to 500 keV the revision is based on 
      the measured data of Kononov [6].  Capture above 500 keV    
      is revised to join smoothly at 500 keV.
