Small touch-ups.
Update TENDL address to current location at: https://tendl.imperial.ac.uk/

JEFF-3.3 TENDL-2019 C13, O17

Note that TENDL-2019 for C13, O17 for JEFF-3.3 are not currently individually available at
https://tendl.imperial.ac.uk/tendl_2019/neutron_file/C/C013/lib/endf/n-C013.tendl
https://tendl.imperial.ac.uk/tendl_2019/neutron_file/O/O017/lib/endf/n-O017.tendl

so I subbed for:
https://tendl.imperial.ac.uk/tendl_2017/neutron_file/C/C013/lib/endf/n-C013.tendl
https://tendl.imperial.ac.uk/tendl_2017/neutron_file/O/O017/lib/endf/n-O017.tendl

I suppose this would change the JEFF-3.3 evaluation...
These may be preferable.

https://nds.iaea.org/public/download-endf/TENDL-2019/n/n_8-O-17_0828.zip

But I do think these TENDL C13, O17 are all copies of ENDF/B-VIII.0 anyways

Update, seems
https://tendl.imperial.ac.uk/tendl_2019/neutron_file/O/O017/lib/endf/n-O017.tendl
magically reappeared, not C13 though

Do you know if the missing files are an error or intentional? It would be really odd for them to drop C-12/13 in TENDL-2019.

C13, O17 (not C12, C13)
sorry, wrote the text too quickly (though the commit does the correct nuclides)

I presume it is just a quack in the migration from PSI to Imperial

Jon has noted the same thing here:
https://github.com/openmc-data-storage/openmc_data/blob/f334eb8a8b139f4ed44d95e3e426b64b7757032f/src/openmc_data/generate/generate_jeff33.py#L82

That's a bit disturbing. I personally don't like mixing release libraries. Does anyone have a contact at Imperial? If all else fails I would roll back to using web archive.

In applications, perfectly fine mixing.
In this type of situation (official release) I agree, not mixing (or pivoting in the release) is best.

I checked these, C13, O17, both TENDL-2017, TENDL-2019 are all using ENDF/B-VIII.0
So TENDL-2017 <> TENDL2019 in this case doesn't matter.
I think it would actually be most logical and defensible to switch to ENDF/B-VIII.0

"All TENDL-2017 files are original except 22. The 22 following files are taken from ENDF/B-VIII: 1,2,3H, 3,4He, 6,7Li, 10,11B, 9Be, 12,13C, 14,15N, 16,17O, 19F, 232Th, 233,235,238U and 239Pu."

"All TENDL-2019 neutron files are original except 24. The 24 following files are taken from ENDF/B-VIII: 1,2,3H, 3,4He, 6,7Li, 10,11B, 7,9Be, 12,13C, 14,15N, 16,17,18O, 19F, 232Th, 233,235,238U and 239Pu."
