Abstract
In this paper on the basis of an analysis of the evaluated and experimental data the new evaluation for Pu-241 in the neutron energy region 10-5 eV – 20 MeV was made. On the basis of the evaluation obtained the full file of the 241Pu evaluated data for BROND-3 Library is formed.
Keywords
plutonium-241, the evaluated data, the parameters of neutron resonances
