Notes:
Diff.: Difference relative to Mughabghab.
Fe-58 (a1): Re-evaluation by Moxon (JEF/DOC-831), differing marginally from the Mughabghab value (1.3 ± 2%).
Cu-63 (a2): JENDL-3.3 agrees with the Mughabghab evaluation within the uncertainty interval, which is very small.
Ag-109 (a3): Mughabghab does not give the cross-section for the excitation of the metastable state.
In-115 (a4): Mughabghab does not give the cross-section for the excitation of the metastable state.
La-139 (a5): ENDF/B-VI Release 8 agrees with the Mughabghab recommendation.
Ta-181 (a6): JENDL-3.3 agrees with the Mughabghab recommendation.
W-186 (a7): The new evaluation by Zolotarev is closer to the Mughabghab evaluation.
Th-232 (a8): All evaluated data libraries agree, but are slightly higher than the Mughabghab recommendation.
U-238 (a9): The Mughabghab recommendation is slightly lower than the value recommended for the ENDF/B-VI standards.
