 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 272 eV to 16 keV.  The number of resolved resonances is    
  increased from 2 to 117.  The resonance parameters are taken    
  from Mughabghab [26].  Mughabghab has indicated that 25 of the  
  resonances are possibly p-wave; these resonances have been      
  included as p-wave.                                             
    The first positive level is at 146.97 eV; nearly all of the   
  contribution (over 99 percent) to the thermal capture cross     
  section is from the negative level at -1.88 eV.                 
    There are 17 resonances included above the upper cutoff of    
  the resolved resonance range, 16 keV.                           
                                                                  
  UNRESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE  16 to 50 keV (revised)--            
    The following parameters are used in this range:              
      S0 = 1.7E-4,  S1 = 1.3E-4,  D0 = 188 eV,                    
      GG = 0.114 eV,        GG/D0 = 6.0638E-4,                    
      Scattering radius, R = 7.82 fm                              
    These parameters are based on Mughabghab [26] and RIPL [28].  
                                                                  
 Same scattering radius also used for resolved range.             
                                                                  
 MF= 3  SMOOTH CROSS SECTIONS                                     
                                                                  
   MT=  1 Total below 200 keV is lower in the REVISED evaluation  
      relative to ENDF/B-V and slightly higher from 200 keV to 2  
      MeV.  For all dysprosium isotopes the total cross section   
      is based on the "eye guide" curve as given on page 546 of   
      McLane [29].                                                
                                                                  
   MT=  2  The 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 50 keV                         
      For the energy range 16 to 500 keV the revision is based on 
      the measured data of Kononov [27].  Capture above 500 keV   
      is much lower than the ENDF/B-V evaluation in order to join 
      smoothly at 500 keV.

   The revised thermal cross sections and the resonance integral  
 are compared with the values given by Mughabghab [26].
