[en] A generalized least-squares technique has been applied to produce a consistent set of thermal and epithermal neutron activation data for the following 20 nuclides produced by neutron capture: ₄₆Sc, ₅₁Ti, ₅₁Cr, ₅₂V, ₅₆Mn, ₅₉Fe, ₆₀Co, ₇₅Se, ₈₆Rb, ₉₅Zr, ₉₇Zr, ₁₂₄Sb, ₁₃₁Ba, ₁₃₄Cs, ₁₄₀La, ₁₄₁Ce, ₁₆₀Tb, ₁₈₁Hf, ₁₈₂Ta and ₁₉₈Au. The technique combines available information on nuclear data from the literature with measured activation data irradiated in nine reactor positions in Germany, the U.K. and Japan. Most of the solution nuclear data showed a distinct improvement, some by a large amount. These have been compared with the most recent evaluation. (author)
