1092234 092_U_234 ENDF/B-VI.8 Covariances - BNL, Oct, 2011: Covariances were adopted from
COMMARA-2.0, which were supplied by BNL. Covariances are a
combination of the uncertainties recommended in the assessment
of Ref. [1] and correlation matrices produced by the WPEC
Subgroup 26 [2] which were converted to the AFCI 33-energy group
structure. The initial estimates were obtained using EMPIRE/KALMAN
system with default parameterization roughly adjusted to
reproduce trends in the experimental data. The KALMAN code was
run with default uncertainties assigned to the key model
parameters to produce covariances. Following the low-fidelity
approach, the uncertainties in the low energy region are based on
experimental uncertainties of thermal cross sections,
uncertainties of the resonance integrals and uncertainty of the
scattering radius. The assessment of Ref. [1] set elastic
uncertainty at 4%, confirmed Subgroup 26 fission and (n,2n)
uncertainties, modified inelastic, an slightly increased
capture uncertainty. 12/09/2010 S.T. Holloway on behalf of LANL [1] V.M. Maslov, P. Oblozinsky, M. Herman [2] D. Rochman, M. Herman, P. Oblozinsky, and S. F. Mughabghab
