The effective Neodymium cumulative fission yields for 235 U have been measured in the fast reactor PHENIX relatively to the 235 U fission cross-section. The data were derived from isotope-ratio measurements obtained in the frame of the PROFIL-1 PROFIL-2A and PROFIL-2B programs. The interpretations of the experimental programs were performed with the ERANOS code in association with the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion library . Final results for 143 Nd 145 Nd 146 Nd 148 Nd and 150 Nd were and respectively. The relative uncertainties attached to each of the cumulative fission yields lie between and . The main source of uncertainty is due to the fluence scaling procedure 2 E. Privas et al. EPJ Nuclear Sci. Technol. 2 32 2016 Table 1.
