Fission cross section of Pu238 for fast neutrons

Current Inconsistencies in 238Pu, 241,243Am and 242Cm Evaluations and their Impact on Uncertainties

“…However, the final conclusion made in [15] was that the data by Budtz-Jorgensen et al [17] could not be reproduced above the (n,nf) reaction threshold. Near the 238 Pu(n,2nf) threshold the calculated cross section is compatible with the data by Ermagambetov and Smirenkin [19,20] and the newest data by Fursov et al [18] at ∼14 MeV. The results of [21][22][23] are also shown in Fig.…”
