Resonance self-shielding in the unresolved resonance region (URR) is driven by the variance of the cross-section distribution, which probability tables are designed to represent. This paper identifies two mechanisms by which standard nuclear data processing distorts this variance. First, the multiplicative normalization used to enforce mean consistency between the probability table and the evaluated cross section inadvertently rescales the variance.
