Fission cross section calculations of actinides with EMPIRE code
Description
Theoretical calculations of neutron induced reactions on 233,234,236U, 237Np, 238-242Pu, 241,243Am, 242-246Cm carried out in the energy range 1 keV - 20 MeV with EMPIRE code are presented, with emphasis on the fission channel. Beside a consistent, accurate set of calculations, the paper contains arguments supporting the choice of the reaction models and input parameters. A special attention is paid to the fission model parameters and their uncertainties.
