The probability table method is a well-known method for addressing self-shielding effects in the unresolved resonance region. A long computational time is required to generate the table. The effective way to reduce the generation time is the reduction of the number of ladders. The purpose of this study is the estimation of the optimal number of ladders using the statistical uncertainty in the probability table. To this end, the statistical uncertainty quantification method of the probability table was developed and the convergence behavior of the statistical uncertainty was investigated. The product of the probability and the average cross section was considered the target of the statistical uncertainty. The convergence behavior was investigated by using Sr-90, U-235, and U-238 from JENDL-4.0. The calculation results revealed that the convergence rate of the statistical uncertainty was different in each nuclide and it was affected by the average level spacing and the average reduced neutron width. The generation time of the probability table was less than half when the input parameter for the iteration condition was changed from the number of ladders to the tolerance value. The developed method leads to the efficient generation of probability tables and the reduction of processing time.
