The prompt fission neutron multiplicity and spectra of the n + U 235 reaction are calculated for the first time with a refined model that takes into account the entire fission fragment range with a point-by-point treatment. At higher incident neutron energies, the treatment of neutrons evaporated prior to scission is improved by the use of the ( n , x n ) spectra obtained in the frame of the cross-section calculation (compound nucleus and pre-equilibrium mechanisms). The new prompt fission neutron multiplicity and spectra up to 30 MeV incident neutron energy, included in the U-235 BRC/JEFF3.1t evaluation, lead to very good K eff results with the fast and thermal integral benchmarks.
