The objective of this paper is to present the work carried out at the French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) to process nuclear data in the unresolved resonance range (URR). Recently, a great deal of effort has been devoted at IRSN to develop an independent nuclear data processing system, GAIA2. First, a nuclear data storing object, independent from the ENDF-6 format, has been implemented in order to transmit information between the components of a module-based scheme. Then, the generation of probability tables in the URR has been added as an independent module named TOP (as Table Of Probability), and tested on a selected set of benchmarks. The methods used and the results are discussed, and some limitations in the manner to construct the tables are pointed out.
