“…In Equations (4) and (5), the subscript "i" is the number of nuclides with spontaneous fission source. In Equation (1), the vector α denotes the "vector of imprecisely known model parameters", which has been defined in Part I [1] as α σ t ; σ s ; σ f ; ν; p; q; N † , with vector-components σ t , σ s , σ f , ν, p, q and N, which comprise the various model parameters for the microscopic total cross sections, scattering cross sections, fission cross sections, average number of neutrons per fission, fission spectra, sources, and isotopic number densities, respectively. For convenient reference, the components of the vector of model parameters α are reproduced in Appendix A.…”
