1. Covariance Processing at ORNL Using PUFF-IV/ERRORJ Code*JEFF/EFF MeetingNovember 20-22, 2006NEA, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France L. Leal *Summary of the presentations given by D. Wiarda on PUFF-IV developments

2. BACKGROUND • PUFF Developed in 1970s to Process ENDF/B-IV Uncertainty Data (FORTRAN-IV; IBM 360/370) • PUFF-II Developed to Process ENDF Data through Version V (FORTRAN-IV; IBM 3033) • PUFF-III: • Process ENDF Data through Version VI • Added to AMPX • PUFF-IV • Rewritten in FORTRAN 90 to allow for a more modular design • Add full processing of File 32 resonance parameter covariance data • Process ENDF/B-VII uncertainty data

3. File 1: General information File 2: Resonance parameters File 3: Point-wise reaction cross sections File 31: Data covariance for nu(bar) File 32: Covariance data for resonance parameters File 33: Data covariance for reaction cross sections ENDF File Structure

4. LRU = 1 Resolved resonance region LRF parameter representation LRF=1,2: Single- or Multi-Level Breit-Wigner LRF= 3: Reich Moore; LRF= 4: Adler-Adler; LRF=5,6: Not defined; LRF= 7: General R-matrix* *Not yet available in ERRORJ LRU = 2 Unresolved resonance region (very poor covariance representation) Covariance Data Storage Formats: LRU = 0 variance give but no covariance between resonances are allowed LRU = 1 entire covariance data given; LRU = 2 entire covariance data given in the compact format*

5. <Mt=102;MT=102> <Mt=2;MT=2> <Mt=1;MT=1> 232Th Uses LCOMP=2 covariance matrix in range [1x10-5,4000] (resolved resonance range)

6. <Mt=102;MT=102> <Mt=2;MT=2> <Mt=1;MT=1> 232Th Unresolved parameter covariances given in range [4000, 1x105 eV]. Covariance data can be given for up to 5 parameters per resonance. For 232Th fission width and competitive reaction width are not used

7. Create Covariance Matrices with PUFF-IV and ERRORJ PUFF-IV and NJOY/ERRORJused to process ENDF-VII-B2 library files containing covariance data on File 31, 32 and/or File 33. Calculations were done at T=0 K for PUFF-IV and T=1.1 K for NJOY/ERRRORJ Covariance matrices with equal MAT and MT values File 32 exists Matrix exists

Runs through if all reverences to lumped reaction 851 are deleted from ENDF file.

Runs through once File 6 is deleted (not used for File 31, 32 or File 33 covariance calculation) ERRORJ Fails to skip over File 6 while executing groupr if processing File 31. Runs through once File 6 is deleted (not used for File 31 covariance calculation). Skips calculation of matrices that cannot be evaluated

12. Neutron library file Standard file 6Li <MT=105;MT=105> <MT=105;MT=105> C - <MT=2;MT=2> x 197Au <MT=1;MT=1> <MT=102;MT=102> x 235U <MT=452; MT=452><MT=456; MT=456> <MT=18;MT=18> x 238U - <MT=18;MT=18> x ENDF-VII-B2 standard files Standard files contain standard reaction covariance matrices. The same matrices are expected to be present in the neutron library files.

13. ENDF MAT with problems in NJOY/ERRORJ 6Li ERRORJ constructs a union grid with too many energy boundaries and energy boundaries out of order. This was fixed in ERRORR. If the same fix is applied in ERRORJ, the covariance data can be calculated 23Na ENDF file contains only a File 32 and no File 33. ERRORJ only processes File 32 if a File 33 is present.
