 ENERGY RANGE ABOVE THE RESONANCE REGION.                         
                                                                  
    The evaluation above 10 keV is based on a detailed            
 theoretical analysis utilizing the available experimental data.  
 Coupled-channel optical model calculations with the ECIS code    
 [Ra70] were used to provide the total, elastic, and inelastic    
 cross sections to the first 3 members of the ground state        
 rotational band, as well as neutron elastic and inelastic        
 angular distributions to the rotational levels.  The ECIS code   
 was also used to calculate neutron transmission coefficients.    
    Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory calculations were carried  
 out with the GNASH [Ar88],[Yo77] and COMNUC [Du70] code systems, 
 including preequilibrium contributions.  Systematics were used   
 to obtain parameters for the exciton preequilibrium model, with  
 small adjustments made to improve agreement with available       
 experimental data.                                               
    The Gilbert-Cameron level density model was used              
 to supplement available experimental information on low-lying    
 levels [Gi65].                                                   
    The Brink-Axel model [Br55],[Ax62] was used to calculate      
 gamma-ray transmission coefficients, using gamma-ray strength    
 function results compiled by Mughabghab [Mu84].                  
    A description of the calculations is given in [Yo86].
