 ENDF/B-VI MOD 1 Revision, April 1998, R.Q. Wright (ORNL)

  RESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE--                                      
    The upper limit of the resolved resonance range is increased  
  from 487.6 to 1000 eV.  The number of resolved resonances is    
  increased from 60 to 115.  The resonance parameters are taken   
  from Mughabghab [8].                                            
                                                                  
  UNRESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE--  no parameters given

   MT=  1  Total below 100 keV is much lower in the REVISED       
      evaluation relative to ENDF/B-V and is higher than ENDF/B-V 
      between 0.1 and 2 MeV.  For the energy range 0.5 to 20 MeV  
      the total cross section is based on the "eye guide" or      
      recommended curve 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 1000 eV                       
      For the energy range 3 to 700 keV the revision is based on  
      the measured data of Beer [7].  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 [8]

    MT=102  Neutron capture evaluated using methods (NCAP code)

       E < EH. The calculated resonance integral agrees (to       
       within 1 sigma) with the value given in Pope [6].
