Resolved resonance evaluation of the 239Pu cross section in the energy range up 4 keV has been carried out with the SAMMY computer code. Existing resolved resonance evaluation such as ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JENDL4 data libraries for 239Pu is limited to 2.5 keV whereas above this energy the unresolved resonance methodology is used. High resolution transmission and fission data taken at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) permitted extending the resonance region up to 4 keV. The thermal and average fission cross section values calculated with the resonance parameters derived in the evaluation fall close to that indicated in the suggested IAEA fission standards.
Key words: resonance / cross-sections / criticality / covariance
