LANL is working towards an ENDF/B-VIII.0-based Covariance Library, with several key goals and work processes outlined. This includes processing through NJOY’s ERRORR module, identifying and correcting mathematical and physical deficiencies, communicating across pipeline from evaluator to end user, understanding use cases and interpreting results, and releasing to customers. Their testing approach includes interaction, processing, checks (mathematical properties, constraints, and physical bounds), and error propagation.
