CURIUM FISSION CROSS-SECTION ANALYSIS

The Cm-242-248 fission cross-sections are calculated in the energy range 1-20 MeV. The parameter systematics tested in the case of U and Pu fission data analyses predict fission cross-sections which differ severely from both the JENDL-3 and ENDF/B-V data. The consistency of calculated fission cross-sections with measured data is reviewed critically. The predicted data on the n + Cm-245 reaction cross-section are partly supported by the newest measured data.
