Abstract

This report presents multigroup cross-section covariance matrices for fission in 2 3 5 U , 2 3"U, 2 3 9 P u , and 2 l f lPu; capture in 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , 2*°Pu, and 2 , f lPu; fission neutron yield Q for 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , and 2t*°Pu; elastic scattering for Na and Fe; non-elastic reactions for Na and Fe; first-level inelastic scattering for 2 3 8 U ; and all reactions pro­vided in the ENDF/B-IV covariance description of N, 0, and C. Other data files generated are included for reference but have not yet been tested. The report presents the multigroup data in six, ten, and fifteen energy group forms corresponding to weighting of the covariance data witn fission (G00IVA), LMFBR (ZPR-6/7) and l/E spectra, respectively. The data are illustrated and tabulated in an edited form for convenience. The multigroup covariance files are currently available from RSIC and NNCSC in the COVERX format, a computer retrievable format designed for data uncertainty analysis and described herein. As new covariance files become available with subsequent Issues of ENDF/B, this report will be added to or revised by the issuance of dated pages that can be incorporated in the report.

I. DESCRIPTION OF CROSS-SECTION COVARIANCE MATRIX GENERATION

1. Background

Only recently have standard formats and procedures been established within the ENOF/B system 1* 2 for the processing of evaluated and corre­lated energy-dependent uncertainty Information Into a multlgroup covarl-ance matrix formulation. The covarlance matrices were established3 to permit systematic sensitivity Investigations to propagate uncertainties in radiation transport calculations and thereby to determine, in a credible fashion, what cross-section measurements, evaluations, or processing methods roost need further refinement for specific applications. Multlaroup covari-ance matrices have been processed from ENDF/B-IV and from evaluations in­ternally generated at ORNL. Libraries of multlgroup matrices in COVERX format are currently available through the Radiation Shielding Information Center (RSIC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The COVERX format is described 1n Appendix A. Auxiliary routines for reading and writing these data are also available. A sample COVERX data file is tabulated in Appendix B and a comprehensive, more readable tabulation 1s presented 1n Appendices D, E, and F.

2. Evaluated Covarlance Formulation

The types of covariance representations permitted in ENDF/B-IV include1:

16=0 Absolute components correlated only within each energy (E.) inter­val (LB=0 as defined in the ENDF/B-IV format) cov(x . ,Y . )=y:p] : ] ;F X V J c ( 1 )

where X^ and Y. represent cress sections X arid Y evaluated at energies 1 and j, respectively, the F's (F X Y k, F A Y k,, F x k, and F y ) represent uncertainty components, taken directly from the ENDF/B file describing the covarlances of cross sections X and Y for specific energy intervals. These components are defined assuming a multivariate normal distribution of cross-section uncertainties; furthermore, multiple sections (e.g.,

and Fwy u* *re taken from a single table of energy-aependent covarlance In­formation for reactions X and Y. The F„ . and Fy , are defined such that the covarlance data Unking cross sections for these reactions are taken

1-k from two Independent tables, one for X and one for Y. The ?-*.v, 1s zero J ,K except for the case when energy 1 Is contained within.energy Interval k and energy j Is contained within energy Interval k'. Cov(Xj,Y.) Is then the covarlance of cross section X at energy 1 and cross section Y at energy j. Thpr« 1s a fifth law (LB-4), but since It can be described a? combinations of tha first four, no data have yet beer cast 1n this form for ENDF/B-IV.

3. Computation of Multigroup Covarlance Matrices

The type of formulation described in the previous section (sums of quantities separable in X and Y) has the very desirable characteristic that, if one assumes a flux model uncorrelated to the cross sections of interest, the multigroup covarlance matrices are reduced to combinations of single integrals Involving group fluxes and cross sections which can be calculated easily. In particular, for

G H *G *H

In general, the covarlance Matrix will be a sum of terms from any of the LB descriptions. The derivation of Eqs. (5-8) has been described previously;1 thi notation used here is:

Page 15: Compilation of Multigroup Cross-Section Covariance Matrices ...

1.3-2

Cov(Xg,YH) - Multi group covarlance of reaction X,group 6, and reaction Y, group H.

•6 = Nultlgroup flux for user group G. Xg . = Nultlgroup cross section for reaction X for a super-group

(G,k) constructed from the union of energy bounds for Inter­val k (taken from subsection n) and those which *»w» user Input. •? . Is the flux for this group.

Note that this formalism Is appropriate for Infinitely dilute cross sec­tions; uncertainties In resonance parameters are not addressed. The as­sumption Is that uncertainties In the Infinitely dilute cross sections are more severe than those 1n the self-shielding factor which itself Is a ratio.

Page 16: Compilation of Multigroup Cross-Section Covariance Matrices ...

1.4-1

4. Results for Processed Uncertainty Files

Several quantities related to uncertainties in multlgroup cross sections are processed from the polntwlse ENDF/B data covarlance file using the PUFF covarlance file processing code.* Clearly of Interest Is the covarlance matrix

Cov(X G,Y H) = <(X G - 7 G ) (Y H - Y H)> (9)

the covarlance of reaction X, group G, and reaction Y, group H. (Angle brackets represent expectation values In this section.) The associated quantity, the relative covarlance matrix,1s defined:

Rel Cov(X 6,Y H) = Cov(X G,Y H)/X GY H (10)

In this notation, the standard deviation Is given by: Std. Dev(XQ) = ^CovUg.Xg) (11)

and the analogous relative quantity, the relative standard deviation, Is Std. Dev(Xr)

Rel Std. Dev(Xr) = = 2- (12)

V. 1s reasonable to expect that 1n many cases the covariance matrix of energy-dependent cross sections 1s strongly diagonal; i.e., the magni­tude of the matrix elements tend to be small for groups G and H widely displaced from each other In energy.

The correlation matrix 1s a quantity constructed by dividing the co-variance matrix for X g and Y„ by the respective standard deviations:

((X f i- XJ(Y - Y )>

V v v w <<vv2> < 1 3 >

Page 17: Compilation of Multigroup Cross-Section Covariance Matrices ...

1.4-2

The correlation matrix Is bounded by unity, I.e.,

iCorrtXg.Y^} < 1 (14)

When Corr(Xg,YH) * 0, the group cross sections are said to be totally uncorrelated; when |Corr(Xg,YH)| • 1, the group cross sections are termed fully correlated (or antlcorrelated).

II. SPECIFIC EXAMPLES

1. Evaluated Covariance FiUs

In the cases cf nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon, covariance files Mere available from the ENUF/B-IV evaluated data. However, in all ot.ier cases

considered here, the covariance files Mere obtained by private communi­cation from evaluators at ORNL. 5" 1 5

Multigroup covariance matrices Mere processed for fission in ?- 3 5U, 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , and 2«»lPu; capture in 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , 2 l f 0Pu, and 2 , , 1Pu; fission neutron yield N ) for 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , ^^Pu. and 2 , , IPu; elastic scattering for Na and Fe; norvelastic reactions for Ka and Fe; and first-level inelastic scattering for 2 3 8 U .

For the Fission Spectrum Covariance Matrix Library the 2 3 9 P u and 2 3 8 U fission reactions were deduced from evaluated covarlances on the 219PU/235U a n d 238IJ/235U f i s s i o n ratios coupled Mith uncertainty esti­mates for the 2 3 5 U fission cross section. The "polntMise" covariance fUas were represented on convenient energy t,rids believed to be adequate­ly fine to faithfully reproduce the broad range behavior important for estimation of uncertainties 1n integral quantities. The evaluations Mere based primarily on "external" methods of analysis which examine the scat­ter among existing data sets. 1 6 These sets are assumed to represent fair­ly the statistical ensemble of hypothetical sets of measurements which could have been obtained 1n the experiments which form our present data base. In cases for which only a few uata sets exist or could be compiled, the ensemble variances were statistically poorly determined by the smell sample; however, variance fluctuations over small energy regions may be

Page 19: Compilation of Multigroup Cross-Section Covariance Matrices ...

II.1-2

unimportant after averaging over the assembly spectrum. It 1s alec im­portant to recognize that such "external" covarlance evaluation irenhous do not Include any systematic bias; for example, the possibility that the 2 3 9 P u half life is now off by two percent could systematically affect all "absolute" 2 3 9 P u measurements requiring exact foil wights.

The source of data for the 2 8a^/ 2 5a. ( and ** 9o f/ 2 5o. was the recent compilation prepared by Poenltz. 1 7 In the method used by Peelle,9 weights were assigned to each experiment which were to reflect the reciprocal vari­ance of a typical point from the data set. Since uncertainties In most sets are a function of energy, an overall judgment was used. The evalu­ated ratio for 2 6 c * / 2 5 o . was taken to be the proposed evaluated fission ratio for ENDF/B-V 1 8; I.e., the ratio was used which, when multiplied by the 2 3 5 U fission cross section for ENDF/B-V, gives the proposed 2 3 8 U fission cross section for ENDF/B-V. For the "* 9o./ 2 5o- fission ratio, the ENDF/B-V evaluateu ratio was not available early enough so that the evalu­ated ratio had to be taken from the ENDF/B-IV. For these fission ratios, a distinction was made between the ensemble of hypothetical measurements and the ensemble of evaluations based upon these measurements. This ap­parently straightforward difference Introduced added complexities because of the varied pattern of measurements made by Individual authors and be­cause of the unequal weights assigned.

^) 2. Multigroup Covarlance Files

The differential covarlance files developed in the preceding sections were put into ENDF/B-IV format1 and processed with the PUFF covariance file processing code.1* Three nultlgroup covariance libraries were de­veloped corresponding to the Fission Spectrum Covariance Matrix Library (GOOIVA 1 9* 2 0 weighting), the LMFBR Core Physics Covariance Matrix Library (ZPR-6/7 2 1 weighting), and the LMFBR Shielding Covarlance Matrix Library (1/E weighting). (Note the name Fission Spectrum Covariance Matrix Library is meant to characterize covarlance files weighted with a GOOIVA type fission spectrum.) These data sets have been used to assess

uncertainties in clean-geometry fast integral data, 2 2 1n large LMFBR reactor analysis, 2 3, 2 1* and in analysis of deep-penetration shielding

A. Fission Spectrum Covarlance Matrix Library. Our existing Fission Spectrum Covarlance Matrix Library [weighted with a calculated SODIVA spectrum (Table 1)1 1s Illustrated In Fig. A-1. This figure represents a square matrix Including all reactions for which uncertain­ty Information was developed In the six-group structure for analysis of GOOIVA. Each Individual box 1s Itself a square matrix with sfx energy groups on a side. The total number of elements in the full ma­trix Is 11664. However, most of these are null elements Indicating no correlation. The boxes along the major diagonal refer to the covarlance of a specific reaction as a function of energy. The off-diagonal boxes reflect correlations between reaction types which were developed largely through evaluation of ratio measurements related to a common standard; e.g., 2 3 9Pu(n,f) and 2 3 8U(n,f) were both measured relative to 2 3 5U(n,f). Other sources of correlation between reaction types Include evaluations of capture/fission measurements (a). For example, If one assumes that the 2 3 9 P u fission cross section was measured relative to 2 3 5 U (^a. s

r 25o„r being the 239py/235u fission ratio) and the 2 3 9 P u capture cross section was measured relative to the 2 3 9 P u fission data (I.e., '•V. - a k9Of'* <* Is the Pu capture/fission ratio), then It follows that: (1) The relative covarlance for 2 3 9 P u fission 1s the sum of the relative

covarlances of r and 2 5<j f. (2) The relative covarlance between 2 3 9 P u fission and capture 1s the

sum of the relative covarlances of r and 2 5o^.

(3) The relative covarlance between 2 3 9 P u fission and 2 3 5 U fission 1s the relative covarlance for 25<r^.

(4) The relative covarlance of 2 3 9 P u capture 1s the sum of the relative covarlances for o, r, and 2 5 o . .

(5) The relative covarlance between 2 3 9 P u capture and 2 3 5 U fission Is the relative covariance for 2 5a^. Similarly arguments can be made to deduce relative covariance ma­

trices between 2 3 8U fission and 2 3 5 U fission and between 2 3 8 U fission and 2 3 9 P u capture cross sectior.s. Perey has shown 2 that when the covarlance matrix for a cross section is to be determined from the covarlance matri­ces of ratios and other cross sections, it is necessary in the reduction to group form to weight the error files with the cross section whose co-variance is being determined. This was implemented properly in this work for the matrices which required only one reaction for weighting. However, off-diagonal group matrices (e.g. \ 2 3 9Pu(n,y), 2 3 9Pu(n,f))) for which the 2 3 5 U covarlance file should have been weighted bilinearly (e.g. by the 2 3 9Pu(n,f) cross section at one energy and by the 2 3 9Pu(n,y) cross section at the other) were approximated by weighting with the 2 3 5 U cross section itself. This approximation was found to be unsatisfactory in the case of the correlation matrices of the 2 3 5U(n,f) and of the 2 3 9Pu(n,y), as well as the correlation matrices of the 2 3 8U(n,f) and of the 2 3 9Pu(n,y). Work 1s 1n progress (7/77) to correct this deficiency, however, and these files will be Included in our library at a later time. Additional off-diagonal components are Introduced due to the uncertainty in 2 l 2 C f V affecting other \T evaluations.

B. LMFBR Core Physics Covarlance Matrix Library. Our existing LMFBR Core Physics Covar1ar.ce Matrix Library (weighted with a calculated ZPR-6/7 spectrum (Table VIII)) 1s Illustrated In Fig. B-l. (The ZPR-6/7 flux/energy 1s similar to a 1/E shape joined to a fission spectrum at approximately 800 keV.) This figure represents a square matrix Including all reactions for which uncertainty Information was developed 1n the ten-group structure for analysis of ZPR-6/7. Each individual box 1s itself a square matrix with ten energy groups on a side. The total number of elements in the full matrix 1s 115600. However, clearly most of these are null elements Indicating no correlation. The boxes along the diagonal refer to the covarlance of a specific reaction as a function of energy. Off-diagonal boxes reflect correlations between reaction types. For example, elements reflecting correlations between the 2 3 9Pu(n,y) and the 2 3 9Pu(n,f) cross sections take Into account that many of the existing experiments are actually ratio measurements (a). The relative covarlance matrix elements linking "v values for ewery pair of fissionable materials was taken as 1.33 x 10~ 5 because all \T measurements above the thermal energy region have been measured relative to v p ( 2 5 2 C f ) , and (1.33 x 10" s)

was the relative standard error assigned to " v f 2 5 ^ ) for ENDF/B-IV. The covarlance evaluations for N, C, and 0 were taken directly from the ENDF/B-IV. Only the Independently evaluated covarlance files for carbon were processed; multlgroup covarlance files for other reaction types are easily derived. The covarlance description of 2 3 8U(n,f) and 2 3 9Pu(n,f) does not Include the more recent evaluation of Peelle9 which considers the correlations through standards (e.g. 2 3 5U(n,f)); this 1nformailon 1s Included 1n the Fission Spectrum Covarlance Matrix Library of the previous section, which reports later work.

Tables IX-XIV present several of the Important processed covarlance files of the present LMFBR Core Physics Covarlance Matrix Library 1n the fora of relative standard deviations and correlation Matrices (matrix elements Multiplied by 1000 for ease In reading) In the ten-group struc­ture selected for analysis.23*2"1 Figures B-2 throughB-10 Illustrate so«e of the Interesting correlation plots In the ten-group processed form. These figures clearly represent only a small portion of the total covarl­ance library described 1n F1g.B-l. The ZPR-6/7 spectrum (Table VIII) was used as the weighting function. The complete LMFBR Core Physics Co-variance Matrix Library with ZPR-6/7 weighting Is shown In tabular fori in Appendix E.

Cross Sections. (NOTE: The saaple Mans for the sets of aeasureaents used to obtain this uncertainty aetrix were not close to the EMiF/B-IV evaluated cross section over the Major portion of the energy spectru*. so the ras uncertainties for this case reflect pr1a«rily the real discrepancy between the saaple aean and the eval­uated cross sections. That i s , for the considerable saaple of ansureaeni data selected for this parti­cular covariance analysis, the ENOF/B-IV evaluated cross section falls -JH below the inferred enseable average over the iaportant energy region froa 10-300 keV. A consistent evaluation based solely upon differential aeasureaents nouTJ exacerbate the central 2 , c / " * f discrepancy for ZPR-6/7. Proper handling of tnis difficulty is presently a aajor challenge to the reliabil ity of the uncertainty analyses row aide by FORSS (or any Sucn systea) i f one assuaes that adjustaents to alcroscopic aeasureaents aay har* already been irxluded in EHOF/B-IV.)

C. LHFBR Shielding Covariance Matrix Library. Our existing LMFBR Shielding Covariance Matrix Library is currently limited to ha, Fe (the latter being the major constituent of stainless steel), N, 0, and C, and is illustrated in rig. C-1. These files have been used in uncertainty analysis of steel/sodium/iron,25 air/ and fusion blanket systems. 2 7 Figure C-1 represents a square matrix including all reactions for which uncertainty information was developed in the 15-group structure. Each individual box is itself a square matrix with 15 energy groups on a side. The total number of elements 1n the full matrix Is 129600. However, clearly most of these are null elements Indicating no correlation. The evaluated covariance file for Na is described in Appendix C and Includes estimates for the total, elastic, Inelastic and capture reactions. At low energies (eV range) the total cross section Is essentially the elastic cross section; i.e. the non-elastic cross section 1s essentially zero up until the first-1 /el In­elastic (-V440 keV). The non-elastic cross section and its covariance fila 1s entirely that of capture. Above the first level, for lack of better Information, we have approximated the energy-dependent uncertainty file for non-elastic to be that of the first-level Inelastic. The error file for Na elastic, however, was only evaluated between 600 eV and 150 keV and had to be derived for energies above and below these boundaries. The error files are described similarly for Iron, the major differences from Na tefng only'the energy region where the elastic covariance file was de­rived (above 1 MeV). The derived files were deduced as follows: Neglecting ether possible reaction types (e.g. (n,2n), (n,p)), assuming no correlation between uncertainties 1n the non-elastic and total cross sections, and denoting non-elastic by (n,x),

III. CONCLUSIONS

The covariance files described in this report represent a first at­tempt to report important uncertainty information which has heretofore been undocumented. The files are our current best estimates which will obviously be refined with feedback from the measurement, evaluation and analysis communities. Under the auspices of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG), it is anticipated that beginning with ENOF/B Version V, many of the required covariance files will be generated and reviewed more systematically. The current effort represents our attempt to fill the gap until this information appears, to provide initial esti­mates which can be factored into the ENOF/B evaluators' considerations, and to lend insight as to how these files are to be processed and used in application.

The report represents multigroup covariance matrices including fis­sion in 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , and 2 l t lPu; capture in 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , 2 l , 0Pu, and 2 , t lPu; fission neutron yield (^ for 2 3 5 U , 2 3 8 U , 2 3 9 P u , 2 , f 0Pu and 2 l f lPu; elastic scattering for Na and Fe; non-elastic reactions for Na and Fe; and the first four inelastic levels for 2 3 8 U ; 1n addition to all reactions provided in the ENDF/B-IV covariance description of N, 0, and C. Other data files generated are included for reference but have not yet been tested. The report presents the multigroup data in six, ten, and fifteen energy group form corresponding to weighting of selected co-variance data with fission spectrum (GODIVA), LMFBR (ZPR-6/7) and 1/E, respectively. The data are Illustrated and tabulated 1n an edited form for convenience.

The multigroup covariance files are currently available from RSIC

Subject: Sodium Data Covariance File for Reactor Studies

Following the guidelines set forth by Perey and Peelle, estimated data covariance files for reactor studies have been generated for the total, elastic, inelastic to first excited level, and capture cross sections. The present sodium evaluation was performed by Paik and Pitterle at WARD using data available through March 1971. Since I did not perform the evaluation, I had to rely heavily on the report1 of their evaluation for ENOF/B-III, as well as the report2 by Pitterle describing his evaluation for ENDF/B-I. However, I have performed a brief literature search for new data available ^ince March 1971, and this new information is included in the present uncertainty analysis. A brief description of the data base and techniques employed in gener­ating the covariance files follows. Total Cross Section The major resonance is at 2.85 keV, with a width of 410 eV. There is some question as to the peak cross section of this resonance; recent values range from 410 b 3 to 372 ± 22 b." For energies lower than this, the scatter of available data is within 5-10% of the evaluation. Above the 2.85 keV resonance, many data sets exist and bands were drawn such that 90% of the "good" data points were within the bands. Energy sections were then chosen and errors estimated within each section. Long-range correlations reflect mainly the different major experiments and the estimated normalization uncertainty for each experiment. Elastic Cross Section The elastic cross section uncertainty is represented as being derived from a , = a. t - a, , - a n Y , which is correct for the energy region 0.5 keV to 2 ReV, with the exception of the region 0.6 keV to 150 keV, where resonance parameters are given in the evaluation. Inelastic Cross Section The inelastic cross section uncertainty is given only for the first inelastic level at 440 keV. The major data set used is that of Perey,5

which shows much resonant structure. The long-range correlations come from the uncertainty in normalization of these data.

Capture Cross Section The major (n,y) resonance is at 2.85 ke¥. There is good experimental evidence for a width r y = 0.47 i 0.045 eV from independent experiments of Yamamuro* and the analysis by Friesenhahn6 of the data of Hocken-bury.7 However, to be consistent with the oft-measured thermal capture cress section cf 0.534 t .005 b, a value r = 0.32 tV is required, and a recent analysis* of s transmission experiment (which doesn't "_asure Ty

directly), derived r y = 0.34 eV. The measurement of ."Y is a very dif­ficult one because r n / r % 900. Energy groups were chosen which include at least one of the seven capture resonances between 0.5 keV and 150 keV. The uncertainties for these resonances are estimated from BNL-325 Third Edition, and from the data of Hockenbury et al . The long-range correlations correspond to a 7% systematic uncertainty in the latter measurement.

Coviriances not specifically included in the f i l e , suc!i as 51-102, are 0.0 by definition.

From: F. G. Perev Subject: 238-U Inelastic Data Covariance File for Reactor Studies

This is a short documentation to accompany the 238-U inelastic data covariance file for ENDF/B-IV (HAT = 1262) given to C. R. Weisbin (March 31, 1975) for the reactor sensitivity studies.

Data files were prepared for the first four inelastic levels of 238-U from threshold to 2.0 MeV. To conform with formats of file MF=33 the covariances were set to Vero from 2 to 20 MeV.

\ To arrive at data covariance files the inelastic scattering from the 2 level at 45 keV was re-evaluated. Results were communicated to A. B. Smith; he has acknowledged receipt of the material but not commented upon it yet.

The 45-keV Level Most of the experimental data of interest are to be found in Refs. 1 to 5, and the discussions leading to the ENDF/B-IV curves are to be summarized in Refs. 6 and 7 with also input from Gene Paik. I have also made use of Ch. Lagrange's calculations.8 My personal judgement is that for some unexplained reasons the results of Barnard et al.1"1* for the 45-keV level appear to be systematically too high, but may be adequate relative measurements. Most of the data for the 45-keV level in the region of interest are due to A. B. Smith. 1" 2 There are several good overlaps with measurements performed over a decade and in the high energy region with the recent Lowell Tech data.5 The theoret­ical situation is confused if one takes at face value the calculations of A. B. Smith,' A. Prince7 and Ch. Lagrange.8 My judgement is to go along with Ch. Lagrange, whose analysis is complete (10 keV to 20 MeV), gets good agreement for. aj and a n Y and is consistent with other even-even nuclide data (Th 2 3 2, U 2 3 \ Pu 1" 0 and P u 2 " 2 ) . A. B. Smith's argu­ment6 that the ENDF/B-IV curve below 500 keV is inconsistent with theoretical expectations may not be valid since Ch. Lagrange's results8

do not agree with those of A. B. Smith. (The difference may be rooted in the use of different penetrabilities for the compound nucleus calcu­lations performed on deformed nuclides rather than in uncertainties due to width fluctuations.')

Distribution March 31, 1975

My best estimate for the excitation of the 45-keV level is as shown on the attachment. It correspond? quite closely to the ENDF/B-IV curve up to 750 keV being about 52 lower. At about 800 keV the ENDF/B-IV curve dives down below my current estimate and at 1.75 MeV is about a factor of 3 too small. This situation does not lend itself to a clean repre­sentation of uncertainties. Basically the data file represents corre­lated uncertainties from threshold to 2 MeV (LB=2) with about 90S uncer­tainties up to 100 keV, 151 from 100 keV to 1 MeV, 251 from 1 to 1.5 MeV and 501 from 1.5 to 2.0 NeV. I believe this represents a fair compromise which will be adequate for the moment. More sophistication could be used if I could substitute for ENDF/B-IV a more realistic curve in particular above 1 MeV, but this may not be important for the current study.

For the next three levels at 146, 308 and 680 keV on each of then; fjlly correlated uncertainties of 201 were assigned from threshold to 2 MeV. In view of the dominant influence of the 45 keV cross section, no :orre-lations between uncertainties for the various levels were included.

The covariance f l ies were implemented by F. Difilippo using a Fortran program written to generate such f i l es . The method used was described by F. 6. Perey, 6. DeSaussure, and R. B. Perez, "Estimated Data Covariance Files of Evaluated Cross Sections," given at the ANS Meeting in Atlanta, Sept. 8-11, 1974.

Correlations with the "standard cross sections" such as 1 0B(n,o) and 2 3 5 U ( n , f ) were not considered. The only major correlation would be that between the 2 1 , 1 Pu(n,f ) and the 2 3 £ U ( n , f ) cross sectioi.s since in most cases aboye 200 keV neutron energy i t was the ratio of these cross sections which was measured. 2"°Pu File 33 Section 102: Radiative Capture

The uncertainty f i l e was prepared for decade type neutron energy intervals from 100 eV to 10 fteV. The only experimental data available for the average capture cross section was that of Weston and Todd1 from 100 eV to 200 keV and that of Hockenbury, Noyer, and Block2 from 6 keV to 30 keV. The evalua­tions of Prince3 and Caner and Yiftah1* were also used as data sets from 1 keV to 10 MeV in the program to jenerate covariance files since these evaluations were based on nuclear model calculations. The covariance f i l e is unrealistic from 30 keV to 200 keV because ENDF/B-4 was based on very prelim' try data of Weston and Todd1 which was later revised. Because of this, ENDF/B-4 was lower than the experimental data in this neutron energy range.

The aethod consists of estimating the uncertainties from the

average discrepancy between EJDF/B-IV and various data sets and

other evaluations. The various data sets are weighted according

to the usual criteria.

In the unresolved resonance region the capture and total cross

sections show nonstatistical fluctuations in addition to the

statistical fluctuations iaplied by the model, as illustrated in

Fig. 1. The effect of these fluctuations on the covariance matrix

has been largely ignored, as more development work is required

to properly treat this problem.

Similarly, in the resolved region, the covariance matrix

describes the uncertainty in the average cross section (averaged over

decimal intervals) rather than the uncertainties in the resonance

parameters.

Above the resonance region the covariance matrices for capture

and fission are defined over an energy grid with intervals of 0.1

lethargy units.

References 1 to 26 list the data and evaluation used in obtaining

the covariance matrix for fission; references 11 to 58 list those for

capture; and references 59 to 73 were used in evaluating the uncer­

tainties in v.

IBM cards, in the proper ENDF fonsst, describing the group-to-group

covariance matrices were given to C. Weisbin on 4-11-75.

We do not understand at present how to describe the error file on

V or the correlations between cross-sections in ENDF/B format, hence, we

describe those errors and correlations below:

energy dependence are estimated at IX. The values at all energies are

fully correlated to the value at thermal. The thermal value is fully — 2 52

correlated to the value of v for Cf. Finally the correlation between v and the fission cross section is estimated to be negligible.

Subject: Error Files for NUBAR(E)a

The files NVR25.DAT, NVR28.DAT, NVR49.DAT, NVR40.DAT, NVR41.DAT represent efforts to give fairly good covariance information for NUBAR for the nuclides 235y, 238u, and 239--ipu.

The format assumes that the information should be carried in f i le 31, but otherwise the formats are trying tc be consistent with those used for energy-dependent cross sections in f i le 33. A section with MT=1 is included at the beginning of each f i le of card images to give all the energies referred to. I believe this is the first time we have explicitly used the option to give covariance terms linking reactions in different nuclides.

The general approach is described below. I t was assumed that uncertainty in the delayed neutron fraction could be ignored, so the evaluation actively represents prompt nubar only. In each case three types of terms were included. The first represented the uncertainty in nubar for 2 5 2 C f given by the CSEWG "2200 m/sec task force" for ENDF/B-IV on 12-13-73, and includes the uncertainties for the other thermal nubar values and the covariance terms given by the associated f i t . Note that the agreed-to uncertainties were double the ENDF/B values quoted by Lemuel at the Washington Cross Section and Technology Conference (March 1975). I arbitrarily cut off the operation of the thermal co/ariance matrix at 0.1 eV, and above this energy assumed that correlations with the 2 5 2 C f nubar occurred entirely through the dependence of all prompt nubar measurements on this standard. I t is the dependence on this standard which induces the cress terms between the different materials.

For each case I f i t the existing fast-neutron data sets as I have them. Sometimes the result was close to ENDF/B-IV and sometimes not, so in every f i le there are subsections which represent the failure of the present f i t to agree with ENDF/B-IV and which represent the covariance of values interpo­lated using the fitted line. The "non-fit" contribution is assumed to be fully correlated with a variable magnitude, and the "fit" contribution is that given by least-squares theory. This treatment of "non-fit" is a bit strange when the curves cross and recross, but in that case the covariance component is small. The "fit" contribution is almost as arbitrary because nobody knows in how many linear segments nubar(E) should be f i t , the output uncertainties depend on the number of segments chosen, and least-square theory only works when you know the fitting function.' I used one to three energy segments as the data seemed to demand.

I have reviewed the file SODIUM.CRW created July 27, 1976 which you are currently using for the SS-Na-Fe adjustments and found the defi­ciencies which led to the very "large uncertainties in the nonelastic and elastic cross sections at high energies. 1 have discussed with Ouane Larson and we propose the following changes: The short-range correlation numbers in file MF=3 from 0.55 MeV to 2.00 MeV should be changed to 2.5 x 10" * (i.e. 5%) then from 2 to 4 MeV 6.4 x 10' 3 (8%), 4 to 8 MeV 1.0 x 1 0 - 2 (10%), 8 to 15 MeV 2.25 x 10 - 2

This will result in standard deviations of the order of 11% up to 2 MeV, then 13% up to 4 MeV, then 15% up to 8 MeV, then 13% up to 20 MeV for both the elastic and nonelastic cross sections.

Subject: Uncertainty Files for Fission Ratios 2 38u/2 35(j and 239pu/2 35ua

These files represent '"external" analyses of the uncertainties associated with these fission ratios, the result is based on the scatter among existing experimental results, and there has been no search for systematic uncer­tainties which might have affected a substantial fraction of the measure-merts in a common manner. We have therefore assumed that all systematic uncertainties are random from one measurement to the next. This is surely not always true, as for example can be seen by considering the possibility that the 239pu half l i fe is now off by 2 percent, affecting all those "absolute'" 2 3 SPu measurements based on foil weight measurements.

The source of data was the excellent compilation prepared by W. Poenitz, ANL, in conjunction with the June 1976 NEANDC-NEACRP specialists' meeting on fast fission cross sections (ANL-76-90 with supplement). In the method used, weights were assigned to each experiment which are supposed to reflect the reciprocal relative variance of a typical point from the data set. Since uncertainties in most sets are a function of energy, an overall judgment was used. The weights chosen are exhibited in Table I. The method is also based on use of an evaluated ratio of cross sections, and is somewhat sensitive to this choice especially i f there appears to be a systematic discrepancy between the bulk of the data and the evaluated curve. For 28p/25p the proposed evaluated fission ratio for ENDF/B, Version V, was employed (Private communication, W. Poenitz, 1-77). That is , the ratio was used which best represents measurements of the fission cross section ratio. For the 2 3 9 P u / 2 3 5 U fission ratio, the Version V ratio was not available soon enough, so the "evaluated" ratio was taken from ENDF/B-IV even though much of the data used were not available at the time of the version IV evaluation.

These analyses were performed using a variant of the SUR program of Difilippo. In the original form this program computed the covariance matrix of the sample of all data which is input, assuming that the true mean of all data is correctly represented by the current evaluated result. Results are computed on an appropriate energy grid. Diagonal elements of the result are just the sample variance of elementary statistics determined by the mean square scatter of data about the evaluation, as complicated by the use of weights which are not equal. Off-diagonal covariance elements of consequence arise whenever there is systematic behavior among the experi­ments which cover any two of the energy regions represented in the grid.

Author's Hote: These fission ratio uncertainty files were used in the creation of the multigroup covarianpe matrices for 23SU(n,f) and 239Pu(n,f) in the Fission Speatrun Covariance Matrix Library.

The program SURP2 used here d i f fered in the fol lowing ways from the o r ig ina l SUR:

1. An arb i t ra ry energy g r id or group structure is input , and the input for these cases was organized to avoid the portions o f SUR which interpolate to estimate pseudo-experimental values in regions where measurements were not made by a par t icu lar author, which interpolated diagonal variance elements in energy groups where no author had measurements, and which interpolated measurements to the centers of the energy groups used. As a resu l t , only about ?0 groups were used for each cross sect ion, and some of the interpolat ion procedures of SUR were replaced by hand operations. Where a data set seemed to fol low the same shape as the evaluation wi th in an evaluation energy group, the evaluation was represented by the value a t the center of the group and each data set was represented by the value at th is energy which t yp i f i ed the re la t ion between th is set and the evalua­t ion throughout the in te rva l . Where the data set did not fol low the evaluation wi th in an energy group, considerable qua l i ta t i ve judgment entered into developing the input data set in a way consistent with the above pr inc ip les .

2. Since SUR essent ia l ly gave the covariance matrix of the sample of input data, and since the uncertainty matrix of an evaluation should be more nearly analogous to the covariance matrix of the mean of the exper i ­mental data, i t seemed important to handle in th is complex case the analog of the fami l ia r resul t that the variance among a sample of N measurements from a population is N times the variance of the mean of those N measurements. Complexities arose because of the varied pattern of measurements made by individual authors and by the unequal weights assigned.

The problem was solved by assuming that a l l experimental data sets do correspond to a given data covariance matrix except for a scale factor corresponding to the assigned weight and except for the absence of measure­ments by some authors in some o f the uncertainty evaluation energy in terva ls . Tne covariance matrix computed by SUR is interpreted as representing a data set of average weight; and, by assuming no correlations occur between d i f fe rent measurements, one can construct the j o i n t covariance matrix of the ent i re set of experimental resul ts . Least-square theory then asserts that i f the weighted average of the data sets 1s computed using the inverse of the data variance matrix as the weight matr ix , the inverse of the resul t ing least squares matrix is the desired covariance matrix of the average (evaluated) cross sections.

The indicated calculations were carr ied out. Even though some i n s t a b i l i t i e s were experienced in the required matrix inversions, the f ina l results did not seem sensi t ive to the manner in which these i ns tab i l i t i e s were handled. The resul t ing re la t ive covariance matrices of the cross-section rat ios are shown in Tables I I and I I I . One is struck by the very small re la t ive uncertainties estimated, and one must wonder whether the results are r e a l i s t i c . More work is required before th is method can be advocated fo r general use in estimating covariance matrices, but the fol lowing points already emerge.

a) The results are sensitive to the evaluation used and the relationship between mean in a certain energy region and the evaluated value used. The computing procedure has no way to sense a discrepancy, so the user Kust scar, the diagnostics provided. Where a considerable body of precise data are in close agreement, as for 2 3 8 U ( n , f ) / 2 3 5 U ( n , f ) over much of the energy range, and where the evaluation closely follows the mean of the experimental data sampled, the small output uncertainty seems reasonable. On the other hand, where some discrepancy is sensed between the data and the evaluation, a perfect procedure should require re-examination of the input data; when such a discrepancy occurs i t may not be rational to assume that the sample variance is N times the variance in the sample rnean.

b) in* fractional-percent uncertainties obtained for broad-group cross sections are so small in t h i ; case that the systematic effects ignored ir. the original assumptions must be reviewed and may become dominant.

c) The standard method to test whether input data is consistent with a least-squares f i t is to compute chi square usinq output residuals and the assumed input data variance matrix. The structure of the SURP2 method seems to assure that the resulting chi square is about equal to lbs number ov degrees o^ freedom; for simple test cases the agreement is matnematically and numerically exact. This result is to be expected since the matrices are constructed from observation of the scatter ' ong the data sets.

d) One might expect that the least-squares procedure would imply cross-section corrections just equal to the discrepancies between mean data and evaluation. While SURP2 shows this behavior on simple test cases, a different result was seen in the f i ts leading to the ir* trices shown, and the differer.ee has not been investigated .»et to see whether i t arises from numerical problems or the correlations among the data (probably the le t te r ) .

e) One must remember not to take too seriously the detaili. of the covariance matrix provided in this way. After a i l , 110 values are given (in Appendix t ) based on not many more (averaged) experimental data values, and at most about ten pairs i f experiments were uti l ized in obtaining the statistical averages. When collapsed to a more reasonable size for actual use in estimating uncertainties in computed quantities, one can respect the correlation coefficients not very small compared to unity.

In summary, an advanced method of external covariance analysis has been employed for the f i rs t time here. Full credit has been taken for the effect of replication on uncertainties in evaluate*! quantities, with the result that uncertainties are estimated to be so small that effects ignored in the analysis may dominate in the cases of the cross-section ratios studied here.

To make use of the relative covariances given for cross section ratios, one must usually combine the results given with a covariance matrix representing the 2 3 5 U ( n , f ) cross section, logical ly , the resulting covariance information for 2 3 8 U ( n , f ) and 2 3 9 P u ( n , f ) should be combined with that from direct measurements of these fission cross sections.

APPENDIX D Edited Tabulation of the Fission Spectra Covariance Matrix Library

In this edited tabulation of the fission spectra covariance matrix library, only the lower halves of the symmetric matrices are shown. Correlation matrix elements are multiplied by 1000 for ease in reading. Also, for convenience, diagonal elements of correlation matrices are given as zero when the corresponding relative standard deviations are zero.

APPENDIX E Edited Tabulation of the LMFBR Core Physics Covariance Matrix Library

In this edited tabulation of the LMFBR Core Physics Covariance Matrix Library, only the lower halves of the symmetric matrices are shown. Cor­relation matrix elements are multiplied by 1000 for ease in reading. Also, for convenience, diagonal elements of correlation matrices are given as zero when the corresponding relative standard deviations are zero.

APPENDIX F Edited Tabulation of the LMFBR Shielding Co variance Matrix Library

In this edited tabulation of the LMFBR Shielding Covarlance Matrix Library, only the lower halves of the symmetric matrices are show. Correlation matrix elements are multiplied by 10C0 for ease in reading. Also, for con .nlence, diagonal elements of correlation matrices are given as zero Mhen the corresponding relative standard deviations are zero.
