Abstract. Some fission yields data of JENDL FP Fission Yields Data File 2011 (JENDL/FPY-2011) revealed inadequacies when applied to delayed neutron related subjects. The sensitivity analyses of decay heat summation calculations also showed some problems. From these results the fission yields of JENDL/FPY-2011 have been revised. The present report describes the revision of the yield data by emphasizing the sensitivity analyses.
The capture cross sections and capture-ray spectra of 91;92 Zr were measured in an incident neutron energy region from 15 to 100 keV and at 550 keV. A neutron time-of-flight method was adopted with a 1.5-ns pulsed neutron source by the 7 Li(p,n) 7 Be reaction and with a large anti-Compton NaI(Tl) spectrometer. A pulse-height weighting technique was applied to observed capture-ray pulse-height spectra to obtain capture yields. Using the standard capture cross sections of 197 Au, the capture cross sections of 91;92 Zr were derived with the errors from 5 to 9%. The present results were compared with other measurements and the evaluated values in JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VI. The JENDL-3.3 evaluations for 91 Zr were in agreement with the present results, but those for 92 Zr largely deviated from the present results. The capture-ray spectra of 91;92 Zr were obtained by unfolding the observed capture-ray pulse-height spectra. The multiplicities of observed rays were derived from the-ray spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
