The s-wave strength function from 676 resonances between 0.9 and 10.0 keV is reported from a consistent least-squares simultaneous-sample shape analysis of the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator 150-m four-sample 238U transmission data. The neutron widths from 0.9 to 6.0 keV from this improved analysis are meant to supersede previously published values. These resonances give an s-wave strength function of about 0.94 × 10−4 from 0 to 10 keV.
