Fission Product Yield Data for the Transmutation of Minor Actinide ...

distributions of various kinds of fissioning systems
and compared them with the measured data. The
comparisons show good agreement between the
calculations and the measurements, including
fission by high energy neutrons and protons.
Benchmark calculations were proposed
during the CRP (see Section 5.2 and the attached
CD-ROM for details). The present systematics was
used to perform the benchmark calculations. As the
systematics cannot give the mass distribution for
pre-neutron emission, only the mass yields for postneutron
emission were calculated for the
benchmark exercise.
