Abstract: Comprehensive neutronic evaluated data files for the naturally-occurring isotopes of cadmium, extending from thermal → 20 MeV, are deduced from experimental data and nuclear models, and presented in the ENDF/B-VI formats. Particular attention is given to those processes relevant to fuel-cycle and fission-product applications. Comparisons are made with prior evaluations of the cadmium isotopes, and discrepancies and consistencies cited. Some of the discrepancies are very large, and they have the potential for a pronounced impact on a wide spectrum of applications.
