Popis: Thirty group covariance data have been produced from ENDF/B VIII.0 MF 33 for H1, H2, He4, Li6, Li7, Be9, B10, B11, C12, C13, N15, O16, the JENDL O16 and F19. Multi-group cross section covariance data was produced by NJOY routine ERRORR. Negative eigenvalues were found only for F19, but the covariance constraints required for the condition of the sum of partial cross sections being equal to the resultant total cross section were found to be incorrect for H2, Li6, B10, C12, C13, and O16. An easy correction is suggested for Li6 and C13. An expansion of the ENDF-6 formats manual is suggested for the MF 33 chapter and a new proposed covariance normalization scheme is proposed.
