Abstract
Covariance matrices for evaluated ENDF/B-VII files of 235,238U and 239Pu are obtained in the fast energy region. Both differential experimental data and theoretical model calculations are used to estimate the uncertainties and correlations associated with the evaluated cross sections. The results are compiled in the ENDF format for covariance matrices, and processed into multi-group files for applications.
