The COMMARA-2.0 covariances were adopted for Ni-58 in the fast
neutron region. Here, like in the Cr and Fe materials, the
starting point was the ENDF/B-VI.8 covariances which resulted
from an evaluation by the highly experienced ORNL group. Then,
these data were subject to a dispersion analysis, leading to
certain modifications of uncertainties, while correlations were
left unchanged. In the resonance region, a MF33/LB=5 section was added to the
covariances for elastic and total in the upper range of the
resonance region (6-775 keV) to account for the uncertainty in
the scattering radius R'. The uncertainty in R' was taken from
the Atlas of Neutron Resonances [1] and propagated to the elastic
cross sections using the energy bins of the AFCI COMMARA-2.0
processed files. To fully account for the uncertainty as given
in COMMARA-2.0, an additional 4% MF33/LB=1 section was added to
elastic from 248-775 keV and 8% LB1 section was added to capture
from 50-775 keV.

ENDF/B-VI MOD 4 Revision, June 2000, S.C. Frankle, R.C. Reedy, P.G. Young (LANL) The secondary gamma-ray spectrum for radiative capture (MF 12,
MT 102) has been updated for new experimental data at incident
neutron energies up to 1 keV.
The MF=12, MT=102 yields above 1 keV were adjusted slightly to
force energy conservation.
The Q-value for radiative capture was also updated in File 3.
Details of these changes are described in Frankel et al. [Fr01].
S. Kunieda (LANL/JAEA) updated the alpha-particle production
cross sections and energy spectra in MF6MT5 , based on the
improved Iwamoto-Harada model. [Sep 3,2011] Oct 22,2004, Holly Trellue remade MF6MT5 using corrected GNASH
code, to fix an earlier bug. Impact is reduced sec. particle prod.
Covariance data: only MF/MT=33/16 migrated from ENDF/B-VI.8
